✦ Synopsis
This paper analytically examines the multi-dimensional mounting schemes of an automotive engine}gearbox system when excited by oscillating torques. In particular, the issue of torque roll axis decoupling is analyzed in signi"cant detail since it is poorly understood. New dynamic decoupling axioms are presented an d compared with the conventional elastic axis mounting and focalization methods. A linear time-invariant system assumption is made in addition to a proportionally damped system. Only rigid-body modes of the powertrain are considered and the chassis elements are assumed to be rigid. Several simpli"ed physical systems are considered and new closed-form solutions for symmetric and asymmetric engine-mounting systems are developed. These clearly explain the design concepts for the 4-point mounting scheme. Our analytical solutions match with the existing design formulations that are only applicable to symmetric geometries. Spectra for all six rigid-body motions are predicted using the alternate decoupling methods and the closedform solutions are veri"ed. Also, our method is validated by comparing modal solutions with prior experimental and analytical studies. Parametric design studies are carried out to illustrate the methodology. Chief contributions of this research include the development of new or re"ned analytical models and closed-form solutions along with improved design strategies for the torque roll axis decoupling.
