Relative movement analysis for a rapid and focused vibration analysis

MBtech Powertrain GmbH, a company of the MBtech Group, has developed an efficient method called relative movement analysis (RMA) which is used in this example for optimization of the idling behavior and characteristics of a sedan with a V8 gasoline engine. This method enables engineers to rapidly and efficiently analyze the cause and effect chain, in this case, between the crankcase movements and steering wheel- and seat-vibrations. In the example presented, the RMA is utilized to optimize this vehicle’s engine mounting.
