Abstrakt: The article provides information on the methods used by engineers at ArvinMeritor for designing engine-mounted brackets for vehicle exhaust systems. For engine and transmission-mounted brackets, the article states that it is necessary to take into account the quasi-static load due to the thermal expansion of the front area of the exhaust system. A topography optimization process was performed in the area of the exhaust-system-side bracket arm to reduce the stresses caused by dynamic excitation.
