Abstract
The hybrid structure of Engine Mounts made of rubber casing with cast iron reinforcing. Use of two materials made it unique both in application and testing. The rubber provides damping for engine vibrations and the cast iron provides necessary strengthening to hold the heavy engine in place. In this research paper the FEA (Finite Element Method) methodology is being discussed to evaluate and optimize the design analysis to enhance overall engine mount capacity. The existing and modified designs are validated and considerable improvement is being observed in modified design in physical testing. Accurate modeling of engine mounts assembly is presented in this paper. FEA analysis results have good correlation with physical validation for both designs. Impact of design parameters of rubber mounts has been presented.
