Study on two-stage mounting systems having distributed intermediate mass
The design logic and calculation method for determining mount stiffness and damping for
a Powertrain Mounting System (PMS) based on reductions of vehicle vibration and noise
contributed by mounts is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the design target for a PMS with
regard to vibration and noise limitations of vehicle level contributed form mounts is
described. Then a vehicle model with 13 Degree of Freedoms (DOFs) is proposed, which
includes 6DOFs for the powertrain, 3 DOFs for the car body and 4DOFs for the four unsprung
mass, and the dynamic equation for the model is derived. Some widely used models, such as
the 6 DOFs model of the powertrain for the design calculation of a PMS, the 7 DOFs model
(Body’s 3 DOFs; unsprung mass’s 4 DOFs) and the 9 DOFs model (powertrain’s 6 DOFs; Body
’s 3 DOFs) for ride analysis of a vehicle, are the specific cases of the presented model
of 13 DOF. Thirdly, the calculation method for obtaining the vibration of seat track and
evaluation point and the noise at driver right ear is presented based on the mount forces
and the vibration and noise transfer functions. An optimization process is proposed to get
the mount stiffness and damping based on minimization of vehicle vibration and noise, and
the optimized stiffness is validated by comparing the calculated vibration and noise and
limitations. In the end of this paper, the natural frequencies and mode energies for the
powertrain, the body and the unsprung mass are calculated using different models and the
results are compared and analyzed.
Nowadays, two-stage ballast mounting system having integral intermediate mass is widely
applied and researched to attenuate vibration of marine machinery equipment, while two
stage mounting system having distributed intermediate mass which has the feature of
lightweight and installation dimension is rarely used and studied. The theoretical models
of two types of mounting systems are set up and force transmissibility rate of the two
mounting systems are deduced through four-pole parameters method. A scale experimental
prototype is established to test the isolation efficiency of the two-stage mounting system
having distributed intermediate mass. FEMs of the two systems are established to make a
comparison ascertaining the difference between the two about vibration isolation efficiency
at the different frequency. The result shows that two stage mounting system having
distributed intermediate mass achieve better vibration isolation efficiency and take less
space than two-stage mounting system having integral intermediate mass if with equivalent
intermediate mass. Two-stage mounting system having distributed intermediate mass can meet
the requirements of practical projects and provides a new way for engineer to refer to when
meet with machinery equipment vibration problems.
Keywords: two-stage mounting system, distributed intermediate mass, integral

1. Introduction
In many segments of industry the trend in the past few years has been towards more
complex equipment and machines, which are lighter and more compact than their predecessors
and which operate at greater speeds and power ratings. To the vibration engineer this trend
has meant more problems associated with vibration isolation problems: i.e., more excitation
available and more components likely to be affected adversely by them so that it has become
increasingly important to provide vibration isolation systems that will retain their
effectiveness [1, 2]. Machinery
ground mounting system is one of the most significant vibration and noise attenuation
technology of mechanical equipment [3-5].
It has been extensively believed that the intermediate mass of two-stage
double
pole mounting system would be better to improve isolation efficiency than one-stage
mounting system [6, 7]. At present, two-stage mounting system having frame structure
intermediate mass like raft mounting system is widely used in the field of naval vessels
which have been gaining widespread attention. In practical application, the intermediate
mass usually takes amount of 20-30 % of the isolated mass [8], but in special cases where
dimensions and weight are strictly limited, this way may not be suitable. Thus, the other
Machinery mounting system that is two-stage mounting system having distributed intermediate
mass which takes less space would play a more important role in the field of vibration
noise controlling.
The simplified theoretical and finite element model of the two kinds of two-stage
mounting systems are analysed in the paper. The equation of two kinds of mounting systems’
isolation effectiveness expressed by transmissibility were deduced through four-pole
parameter method. A comparison between the Single Pole Mounting System to ascertain
the difference about vibration isolation efficiency at different specific frequency through
FEM model analysis was made. A scale experimental platform was established to test the
isolation efficiency of the two-stage mounting system having distributed intermediate mass.
The research results based on the calculation and analysing on the two kinds of
mounting systems can provide a reference for engineer when designing mounting system for
machinery equipment.
2. Mounting system theoretical model
2.1. Basic theory of four-pole parameters method
The behaviour of mounting systems is complicated and extremely hard to predict because
of wave effects. To depict the behaviour of system’ dynamic performance is difficult so
that to simplify practical mounting system is necessary [9, 10].
Four–pole parameters method is an essentially simple idea and for this reason is
helpful in providing a point of view [11]. All of the pertinent properties of a system can
be expressed in terms of four pole parameters which characterize only the system for which
they are determined; their value is not influenced by the preceding or subsequent
mechanical systems.
A linear mechanical system is shown schematically in Fig. 1. The system may be
comprised one or more lumped or distributed elements, or be constructed from any
combination of such elements. The input side of the system vibrates sinusoidally with a
velocity in response to an applied force . In turn, the output side of the system
exerts a force on the input side of some further system, sharing with it a common
velocity . Thus the system shown is said to have input and output terminal pairs, a
force and velocity at the input terminal pair giving rise to a force and
velocity at the output terminal pair, the reaction of any subsequent mechanical
system being accounted for. Forces are considered positive when directed to the right [12,
13].
Isolators made of hard elastic material were used in the upper mount whose natural
frequency were about 8 Hz and stiffness is 1.5×10e6 N/m, damping factor 0.09. Air spring
was used in the lower mount whose natural frequency was about 4 Hz, stiffness is 10e6 N/m
and damping factor 0.05. Intermediate mass amounts about 20 % of the total mass of the
upper body including a vibration generator to simulate vibration source and rack to hold
it. The vibration generator generates vibration at a precise frequency. The isolation
effectiveness expressed by acceleration tested by PULSE exploited by Brüel&Kj?r was shown
in Table 1. All of the measurements summarized here were obtained after post-process using
Pulse Reflex, driven by1/3 octave band filtered white noise, and by measuring 1/3 octave
bands. Experimental results showed that satisfactory isolation effectiveness evaluated by
vibration lever difference could be obtained by using distributed intermediate mass as
frame structure intermediate mass does.
To compare the isolation effectiveness of two-stage mounting system having integral
intermediate mass with distributed intermediate mass. FEMs of the two types of mounting
system was designed based on the scale experimental prototype having distributed
intermediate mass was set up through ABAQUS as is shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11. Q235 whose
density 7800 kg/m3, elasticity modulus 200 GPa, Poisson’s ratio 0.3 was
used as the material of foundation, intermediate mass and rack to install a vibration
generator. The upper and lower isolators were simulated by spring with three dimensional
stiffness and both ends of the spring were six degrees of freedom coupling constrained to
the foundation, upper rack and intermediate mass with its actual contract area
respectively. Data of isolators’ three dimensional stiffness was obtained through
practical testing so that can be used as input parameters. The foundation was six degrees
of freedom coupling constrained to the ground.
In this paper, four-pole parameter method and numerical calculation method were used to
analyse the two types of two-stage mounting systems and a scale prototype was designed to
test isolation effectiveness of two-stage mounting system having distributed intermediate
mass. Results showed:
1) Two-stage of mounting system having distributed intermediate mass can satisfy the
criterion of practical projects in isolation efficiency over 40 dB which provide a new way
for designer to choose when making mounting plan.
2) When the carport mounting
system having the same intermediate mass in quality, two-stage mounting system having
distributed intermediate mass would obtain better isolation efficiency.
The usual frame designs, however, incorporate extended structural members which exhibit
modal behaviour at acoustic frequency; thus, such frames do not act as rigid masses at
these frequencies and the advantages of a two-stage mounting system are lost. In many such
installations it is likely that better high-frequency isolation, plus perhaps a saving in
weight, may be obtained essentially by replacing the frame with distributed compact mass
which will act as rigid mass at high frequency like the two-stage mounting system having
distributed intermediate mass I discussed in the paper.
Further research on how the vibration isolation effectiveness fluctuate with increasing
intermediate compact mass and detailed physical explanation on why would distributed
intermediate mass provide as well vibration isolation effectiveness as a frame structure
intermediate masa work will be continued.
The vibration isolation performance of the engine mounting system can be evaluated by
the transmission force. The transmission force characteristics of engine mounting system
are analyzed by simulation and test. The 6-DOF model of engine mounting system is
established by ADAMS software. The results of modal parameters and transmission force of
engine mounting system are obtained by simulation. The force sensor is made with resistance
strain gauge. The sensor is calibrated by chassis dynamometer method. The transmission
force of the engine mounting system is tested under the complete vehicle condition. The
test results of transmission force and acceleration transmissibility are compared. It is
proved that the transmission force is more suitable to evaluate the vibration isolation
performance of the mounting system when the vehicle is running at medium and high speed.
This article is to find optimized placement for an active
solar farm mounting system
suitable for a 6-DOF bar structure with two active paths. When a sinusoidal
excitation force is applied to the structure, secondary force and phase of the two active
supports can be calculated mathematically. When the position changes, the magnitude and
phase of the secondary forces in each path will be analyzed using simulation. If the forces
applied to the two active mounting system are relatively small and the phase does not
change by 180 degrees, these specific positions of paths are considered as optimized
positions of the active mounting system. Based on the simulation results, criteria for
selecting the location are proposed, which will be very useful for proper selection of
actuators for engine mount system.
In automotive industries, engine vibration isolation has been always a difficult task
and due to the trend of lighter weight and higher power of vehicles, it has become a more
serious problem. In order to improve the NVH performance of mounting systems, active
control methodologies have been applied and many research has focused on the position of
the engine mount system to optimally reduce vibration. Genetic algorithms are utilized to
find the optimized locations of piezoelectric actuators and sensors for active vibration
control [1]. For different engine installation positions, vibration characteristics of
heavy commercial vehicles are studied. They demonstrate how to achieve the engine isolation
by arranging the engine isolator in the longitudinal direction of the powertrain [2].
Vibration reduction of a coupled path structure with a piezoelectric laminated actuator and
a rubber bearing is studied and active path interactions are quantified based on the
dynamic characteristics of the passive system [3]. However, under the same excitation
conditions, the vibration reduction could be changed as the position of the movable active
engine mount changes. Thus, this research will focus on optimizing the location of active
elements.
In this study, the experimental setup shown in Fig. 1 is prepared and its numerical
analysis would be presented. Upper and lower bars are representing the vehicle engine and
the sub-frame, respectively. There are two paths made of a piezo-stack actuator and a
rubber mount to provide active vibration isolation between the bars. At first, a parametric
model is proposed for a given laboratory experiment structure and establish a motion
equation. Then, numerical simulation will be performed and the results will be analyzed to
determine the criteria for selecting the best location for the mounting system.
