<div>Vehicle vibration is the key consideration in the early stage of vehicle development. The most dynamic system in a vehicle is the powertrain system, which is a source of various frequency vibration inputs to the vehicle. Mostly for powertrain mounting system design, only the uncoupled powertrain system is considered. However, in real situations, other subsystems are also attached to the powertrain unit. Thereby, assuming only the powertrain unit ignores the dynamic interactions among the powertrain and other systems. To address this shortcoming, a coupled powertrain and driveline mounting system problem is formulated and examined. This 16 DOF problem is constructed around a case of a front engine-based powertrain unit attached to the driveline system, which as an assembly resting on other systems such as chassis, suspensions, axles, and tires. First, the effect of a driveline on torque roll axis and other rigid body modes decoupling is examined analytically in terms of eigensolutions and frequency responses. It is observed from the analysis that when the optimized uncoupled powertrain system is introduced in real vehicle conditions, the vibration isolation level of the powertrain mountings gets degraded. Then, a new improved approach of considering coupled powertrain and driveline systems in the initial design phase itself is proposed. The mounting system parameters such as mount location, mount orientation angle, and stiffness rate are optimized and redesigned for the proposed system. The results of the redesigned system show that the decoupling of the rigid body mode parameters is improved and consequently powertrain vibration performance is also improved in static and dynamic conditions of the vehicle. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that considering the driveline along with the powertrain as a coupled system at the early phase of the mounting system design itself improves the vibration performance of the vehicle during real-life situations.</div>
