Engine mount is purposed to control an excessive motion generated from powertrain system and to isolate vibration and noise to be transmitted to main system. As vibration design of engine mount is one of the main items on the phase of vehicle development, the design should be optimized considering various design variables and uncertainties. In the study, design optimization of engine mount for ...

Abstract This paper focuses on process chains for power train components of passenger cars and heavy duty vehicles. In the project “Powertrain 2025” particular attention is being paid to increase resource efficiency manufacturing reduce energy demand during service life. detail cylinder liners are equipped with an adapted geometry topography which reduces friction losses. Process chassis invest...

Hybrid electric fuel cell vehicles are studied using a system perspective that explores the tradeoffs among fuel economy, acceleration, and other vehicle attributes. Design decisions are derived from an enterprise decision-making model that seeks to maximize profit. Uncertainties stemming from manufacturing variability, customer preferences, and market response to fuel price fluctuations are al...

Automobile components are subjected to high dynamic forces and vibrations under operational conditions which need detailed system analysis for work properly. Clutch is one of the important parts automobile powertrain with torque transmission controlling vibration damping properties. Metallic helical springs widely preferred within clutch discs their durable mechanic properties against variables...

Energy waste inside the powertrain of electric vehicles (EVs) due to non-optimized acceleration caused by improper control variables is not generally considered when designing EVs' optimal driving strategies. To fill this gap, study designs an EV strategy taking a holistic approach explicitly considering powertrain's internal functionalities minimize total energy consumption. Firstly, battery t...
