Abstract
This paper presents the procedures and technique of the decision on the decision on the mount in a diesel engine development newly. To assess the vibration chara- cteristics of the engine plus transmission, their inertia moments are calculated for three engine versions. i.e., NA(Naturally Aspirated), TC(Turbocharged) and TCI(Turbocharged and Intercooled). These data are used to determine the mount layout and stiffness values affecting the noise quality of an engine as well as a vehicle. The main purpose of this paper is to design the mount rubber having the optimal stiffness characteristics through the investigation of the calculation results and the mount conditions when an engine is installed in a vehicle using the existing engine mount room. Thus, this paper describes the optimal mount positions, rubber stiffnesses, natural frequency, mode shapes and so on using ADAMS program to apply the newly developed engines to three different vehicles.
