“…Usually engine mounts are represented by the Kelvin-Voigt model in vehicle models where a spring is coupled in parallel with a viscous damper as Iwahara and Sakai [3], Richards and 762 H. Yarmohamadi and V. Berbyuk Singh [4] and Knothe and Grassie [5] have used. This model does not take care of the nonlinear behaviour of the mount due to, for example, friction phenomenon.…”

In this paper, a computational model of conventional engine mounts for commercial vehicles comprising elastic, viscous and friction functional components, which expresses the nonlinear behaviour of the dynamic stiffness and damping of mounts as functions of both frequency and amplitude of excitation, is developed. Optimisation approach is implemented to identify model parameters using measurement data. The developed model has been validated against measurement data for harmonic excitations with a frequency range of 5-100 Hz and an amplitude range of 0.025-2 mm employing three different engine mounts used in heavy trucks. The model shows good and admissible agreement with measurement data keeping the tolerance of estimation below 11%. Simulations of engine vibration dynamics are presented with both proposed model and commonly applied Kelvin-Voigt model of the mounts. The developed model can be used in complete vehicle advanced dynamic analyses and also in the design of semi-active and active engine mounting systems for commercial vehicles.

Powertrain mounting systems play a crucial role in the overall functioning of three-wheeled passenger vehicles equipped with a single-cylinder diesel engine. Primarily, engine mounting systems are tasked with isolating the vehicle and its occupants from the vibrations produced by the engine. A properly designed engine vibration isolation system should ensure the stable positioning of the powertrain within the vehicle, even when subjected to dynamic forces and torque loads. Furthermore, it should accommodate the general motion of the powertrain and prevent any contact between the engine, transmission, and associated components of the vehicle. The mounting system should additionally shield the engine from loads imposed by chassis torsion or twists while minimizing the shock loads transmitted to the engine caused by road undulations. Moreover, the mounting system needs to prevent the powertrain system frequency from coinciding with suspension wheel hop and tramp frequency, as well as structure-borne and human-organ resonances. Therefore, a comprehensive examination of the powertrain mount design is crucial to ensure improved vibration isolation. This paper delves into the design considerations of a powertrain mounting system for a three-wheeled passenger vehicle featuring a transversely mounted single-cylinder diesel engine at the rear. The powertrain relies on three elastomeric mounts, with two positioned at the front of the engine and one at the rear. In this paper, a design rationale and calculation methodology for determining the stiffness and location of a powertrain mounting system are presented. This approach allows for changes in mount positions within allowable practical limits, considering packaging constraints. The analysis involves studying the vibration patterns of the existing powertrain configuration by examining its rigid body mode shapes. The paper proposes an approach to modifying the stiffness and positions of the elastomeric mounts with the goal of achieving >80% modal purity. This methodology focuses on mitigating vehicle vibrations and noise associated with these mounts, with the primary aim of enhancing the performance of the mounting system, ultimately leading to improved vibration isolation performance of the powertrain mounts.
