| Popis: | IC engine produces vibration during the operation, which reduce the life and reliability of both the engine and the chassis and hence loss of comfortability in riding. Mounts should have the ability to damp out the vibrations at the various load speed conditions. Elastomeric rubbers are used to damp put the vibration and they are manufactured by Materials like cast iron and steel are integrated with elastomeric rubbers to provide the structural stability. To some extent the steel/cast iron based mounts are able to isolate the engine vibrations. A search for materials with good damping and stiffness combined with rubber is needed for the engine mounts. In this research article, the steel plates are replaced by Al6061-Sic and Al6061-Al2O3 Metal Matrix composites (MMC) and studies are carried out on the engine mounts made of Al6061-Sic and Al6061-Al2O3 MMC plates integrated with rubber. The vibration characteristics of both the mounts are determined experimentally and compared with steel for better vibration isolation. |
