EFFECT OF ELASTIC ENGINE MOUNTS ON THE VIBRATIONAL COMFORT IN A PASSENGER CAR

Several demands are made on the engine mounts. The vibration from the engine on its mounts must be optimized, so that the vibrational comfort of the vehicle is not affected too greatly. A series of computer models are presented, which enable pre-calculation of vibration behavior. Particular emphasis was given to engine roughness when traveling on an uneven road and to shaking, caused by th engine forces and moments during idling. Design guidelines are presented as the results of the simulation.
