Design And Analysis Of Engine Mounting Bracket Using Ansys Tool

Abstract

Engine mounting bracket plays very significant role in reducing noise, vibration and harshness caused due to engine and thus has very effective role in improving vehicle comfort. This current article accounts for the investigation of engine mounting bracket by using ANSYS. Static and modal analysis of engine mounting bracket was done in order to investigate whether the current natural frequency of engine mounting bracket is lower than that of self excitation frequency of bracket. The obtained results were also examined for cross section of bracket. It was found that circular cross section having stress induced 128.47MPa is more reliable than square cross section. The results were analyzed for stresses and deformations. The design was tested for different materials like Magnesium, ERW-1 and ERW-3 along with suitability of material. Stresses induced in magnesium bracket were 64.07 MPa with the deformation of 1.20 mm. It can be anticipated that magnesium brackets are corrosion resistant and can be considered for desired application
