Calculation of inertia and elastic roll axes of an engine
Challenge: Generate guideline to design an engine mounting system
It is necessary to predict and control vibration and/or input forces to mounting system of rigid body structure with multiple numbers of elastic mounts like vehicle engine mounting system, when the rigid body of engine vibrates due to engine torque fluctuation.
The vibration itself depends on a design specifications of elastic mounts such as mounting layout and stiffness, however, it is not easy to design the mounting specifications since mountings are mutually related.
How to resolve pains:
Applying ESTECH.AxisDesign generates the mounting design guideline effectively by calculating parameters such as "center of gravity" as well as two axes such as " inertial roll axis (torque roll axis) and elastic roll axis ".
Strength of the Software
- Easy to conduct mounting design study by visualizing inertia roll and elastic roll axes
- Optimize elastic roll axis layout
- Calculate natural frequency and mode ( kinetic energy distribution )
