In order to improve the vibration characteristics of mid sized passenger car automatic transmission at idle experimental and theoretical studies have been carried out. Idle shake in "D" range occurs by various reasons such as characteristics of body bending resonance between subsystems and engine mounts etc. Using full vehicle finite element analyses and modal tests we introduce the way to reduce the idle shake in the early design stage. It shows that the exciting forces are the 2nd order torque and force of engine. A powertrain system modes in "D" range are entirely effected by the additional boundary conditions of drive line. As a result the frequencies of subsystems are arranged to be lined up at the idle frequency range in order to avoid the resonances with subsystems To reduce the idle shake mounts of radiator are tuned to act as a dynamic damper to 1st bending frequency of the body. In addition a hydraulic mount which is optimized by Phase Shift Method is applied to the rear engine mount.e rear engine mount.

엔진 설치 시스템은 차량의 NVH 성능에 매우 중요한 시스템 이다. 차량의 NVH 성능은 공회전 진동(Idle Vibration), 엔진 쉐이크(Engine Shake) 시동 진동(Key ON/OFF Vibration), 변속 진동(Gear Shift Vibration) 등 다양한 이론이 존재한다. NVH 성능 개선을 위해 이러한 이론들에 대한 실제적 최적화가 필요하며, 특히 최적의 엔진 설치 위치와 강성을 찾아내는 것이 매우 중요하다. 또한 효과적인 NVH 성능 개선을 위하여 차량개발 프로세스 측면에서 제약조건과 한계가 있는 사후 조정보다는 개발 초기에 최적화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 엔진 설치 시스템 관련 여러 이론에 대한 최적화 해석과 파워 트레인의 엄격한 모드 분리와 토크롤축(Torque Roll Axis), 탄성롤축(Elastic Roll Axis) 사이의 각도를 최소화 하는 다양한 시뮬레이션 케이스(Simulation Case)와 FE-모드를 개발초기에 수행하여 다중 최적화 분석을 함으로서 최적의 엔진 설치 위치와 강성을 찾아내어 NVH 성능을 개선하였다.

This paper introduces optimization techniques to design engine mount properties for passenger vehicle. The design targets are divided into three cases such as optimal positioning of powertrain modes, minimizing vibration of deriver's seat in idling and driving conditions. The proper models, mechanisms of vibration, and characteristics of optimization problems are discussed.

An efficient vibration analysis method, Component Mode Synthesis(CMS), for an exhaust system with bellows is presented. Analyses are performed for two types of bellows, where characteristics of vibration modes affecting idle shake and interior noise of a vehicle are examined. Also analyzed are the contributions of an exhaust and engine mounting system to the idle shake and interios noise. Comparison between the analysis and test is in good agreement, hence the CMS method is shown to be efficient and valid.

Optimal designs of a 3-point and a 4-point engine mount system are presented for reducing the idle shake of a Front Wheel Drive(FWD) vehicle. Design variables used in this study are the locations, the angles and the stiffness of an engine mount system. The goal of the optimization is minimizing the transmitted force without violating the constraints such as static weight sag, resonant frequency and side limits of design variables. The Augmented Lagrange Multiplier(ALM) Method is used for solving the nonlinear constrained optimization. The generalized Jacobi and the impedence method are employed for a free vibration analysis and a forced response analysis. The trend of analysis results well meet that of the experimental results. The optimization results reveal that the 4-point system transmits less torque than the 3-point system. It is also found from the design sensitivity analysis that the vibration characteristics of the 4-point system is less sensitive than those of the 3-point system.

Pneumatic Active Engine Mount(PAEM) with open-loop control system has been developed to reduce the transmission of the idle-shake vibration induced by engine effectively and economically. A solenoid valve installed between PAEM and vacuum tank is on-off switched by the Pulse Width Modulate(PWM) control signal to decrease the dynamic stiffness of the engine mount. This paper presents the methodology to identify the optimal values of control parameters of a PAEM, i.e, turn-on timing and duty ratio of PWM signal for 6 different idle driving conditions. A scanning algorithm was first applied to the vehicle test to obtain the approximate optimal control parameters minimizing the vibration at front seat rail and at steering wheel. Then the PAEM system identification was fulfilled to find accurate optimal control parameters by using multi-layer neural networks of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with vehicle test data.

This paper presents modal contribution method to reduce vehicle vibration. Normal mode analysis is performed to obtain modal vector matrix. The proposed method uses this modal vector matrix to evaluate forced response of an active mode to the applied engine forces and the rotating force due to wheel unbalance mass. Comparing the responses, of the specific active mode with one another, it can be easily done to determine most contributed mode in the interesting frequency band. Then we can find dominant bushes by the strain energy distribution of the mode. Vibration response is decrease with modification of those bushes.

A method using the linear matrix algebra is developed in order to determine unknown external forces in linear structural analyses. The method defines a matrix which represents the linearity of the vibrational analysis for a structural system. The unknown external forces are determined by the operations of the matrix. The method is applied to find an engine motion in an automobile system. For a simulation process, an exhaust system is modeled and analyzed by the finite element method. The validity of the simulation is verified by comparing with the experimental results the free vibration. Also, an experiment on the forced vibration is performed to determine the damping ratio of the exhaust sysetm. Estimated model parameters(natural frequency, mode shape) are in accord with the experimental results. Because the method merely repeats the transpose and inverse operations of a matrix, the solution is extremely easy and simple. Moreover, it is more accurate than the existing methods in that there is no artificial assumptions in the calculation processes. Therefore, the method is found to be reliable for the analysis of the exhaust system considering the characteristics of vibrations. Although the suggested method is tested by only the exhaust system here, it can be applied to general structures.

The Problem of mechanical vibration is investigated for an automotive exhaust system. The vibrational reduction effect is systematically evaluated according to the attachment of the exhaust system. Moreover, the optimal attachment position of bellows is determined from the viewpoint of vibration isolation. The structure is analysed by the finite element technique where the geometry, the mass, the stiffness and the damping properties of the exhaust pipe are modeled. The validity of the developed model is verified by comparing with the experimental results. An optimization is carried out by the quadratic approximation algorithm. The reaction transferred to an automobile body by the hanger is considered ad the objective function. It is shown that the exhaust system which has the bellows at the optimal position is more effective for the vibrational characteristics than the others. It is also proved that this analytical method is quite useful in the design stage of the exhaust system.
