An Engine Mount Design and Vibration Analysis

Abstract

Vibration is an important parameter affecting performance in vehicles. Engine vibrations and vibrations coming from the road are the most im-portant sources of vibration in vehicles. If the vibration is not damped, it will cause noise, fuel consumption and damage to the vehicles and it is transmitted to the passenger cabin, thus negatively affecting both the comfort of the driving and the health of the people in the vehicles. In the vehicles, engine mounts are used to damp vibration produced by the en-gine. However, in the recent years, there have been trends in the automo-tive industry to mitigate vehicles and reduce costs, while reducing emis-sions values and producing more powerful engines. Vehicles mitigating causes more vibration on the vehicle. Therefore improvement of existing systems is a necessity. In this study, in order to reduce the vibration caused by the engine, an engine mount system was created and vibration analysis of the engine mount system as made.
