VIBRATION CONTROL OF A PASSENGER CAR ENGINE COMPARTMENT MODEL USING PASSIVE MOUNTS SYSTEMS

Engine mounting is one of the devices that provide vibration isolation for unwanted vibration from engine to the driver. There are 3 types of engine mounting system which are passive, semi-active and active engine system. This study emphasizes on the validation of mathematical equation derived from Newton Second Law of Motion with real time experiment. The study of the characteristic of mounts using simulation the 3-Degree Of Freedom (DOF) mathematical modeling in Matlab Simulink software. Then, the mathematical model is verified by using experimental approach. By comparing the results from the experimental and simulation it shows that the model enables to give same response as in the experimental result.
