Vibration Theory to Design Engine Mount System of Powertrain

파워트레인 마운트계 설계를 위한 진동 이론

In this paper, classical vibration theories are summarized to design engine mount system of passenger vehicles. The vibrational characteristics of powertrain system and its equation of motion are introduced. Based upon the equation, the concept of the center of gravity, the principle inertia axis, the elastic center, and the elastic axis are defined and some new concepts are suggested. The theory of mode decoupling and the relationship between TRA (Torque Roll Axis) and roll mode are also reexamined to support the design concept of engine mount systems.
