This paper presents a stepwise approach for exhaust system mount scheme finalization from concept to detail design phase. Finalization of exhaust hanger locations by finding Nodal points on exhaust system were considered. Various generic aspects like frequency separation, mode shapes, reaction forces, static displacement, and stress were considered. Apart from the generic aspects special aspects like peak loads and operating conditions were also considered. A combination of design of experiments (DoE) and optimization was used to finalize the mounting scheme and mounting characteristic parameters.
