An Experimental Investigation and Modal Analysis of an Engine Supporting Bracket

Engine supporting bracket playsa vital role in improving the ride comfort and work environments of the vehicle. It is anticipated that Improvement in vibration control can be achieved by the determination of natural frequency of engine supporting bracket system and must be less than self-excitation frequency range.This Paper describes higher stresses induced and its critical region on the component. In static structural analysis design is suggested against deformation, equivalent stress andstrain energy using finite element analysis concept. Existing design is modified and provided with the isolation effectsand on setstress distribution from critical region which concentrates on strengthened body part was suggested. Further scope of this work involves in carrying out vibration study using fast Fourier transform (FFT) analyzer
