Two-Mode Operation Engine Mount Design for Automotive Applications

Design Optimization of Automotive Engine Mount System

The highly competitive automotive business industry requires manufacturers to pay more attention to passenger comfort and riding quality. This has forced designers to direct their attention to the development of high quality engine mountings. The energy absorption characteristics of the engine mount are mainly influenced by two variables, the material and the design. In real world automotive ma...

Nonlinear Control in Automotive Engine Applications

Nonlinear control theory has undergone a rapid development in the past decade. Some of these results and ideas have found application in the field of automotive powertrain control where the models that are used are typically multi-input, multi-output, and nonlinear. In this paper, we illustrate a particular application where the disturbance decoupling paradigm is used to design a controller tha...

Automotive Engineering: Engine Fuel Map Design

In order to understand how to bring out the most power from a car’s engine, we needed to learn how an engine works. The main focus of this research was to tune the engine and create a fuel map that would allow it to run at its optimum level. We used the Win Tec-GT computer software to test the performance of a 2002 Yamaha YZFR6 engine that the Rutgers 2008 Racing Team uses in their car. To easi...
