Finite Element Modeling for rubber grommet to reduce vibration refrigerator

In this study, vibration analysis of a refrigerator was carried out to reduce vibration by considering grommet. When the refrigerator machine room is modeled by finite element method, spring elements are added to constructions of the FEmodel for each component and update. To design the grommet of refrigerator, FEmodel must have vibration characteristics of each components such as baseplate, pipe and compressor it self. The modal analyses are conducted to validate suggested approach when the components of machine room are assembled together. And, in this study, optimal design of grommet is conducted to avoid the resonance at the operating frequency of refrigerator. The experimental and FEM result of suggested design showed good agreement and are presented here.
