Abstract

Bracket is one of the important components of an engine mount assembly, heavy performance truck has their engine supported by bracket and this engine mounting brackets assembly is used in chassis front frame which has been designed as a framework to support engine along with transmission member. The main function of the engine mount bracket is to properly balance the engine and transmission on the vehicle chassis, engine mount is an important part of the vehicle to reduce the vibration and noise, by which smooth ride of the vehicle can be achieved. Vibration and strength of engine bracket has been continuously a concern which may lead to structural failure if the resulting vibration and stresses are severe and excessive. The present work focuses on the FEA analysis of engine mount bracket for three materials by using meshing and analysis software which are HYPERMESH and ABACUS, the materials used are cast iron, wrought iron and mild steel, modal analysis and static analysis carried out by which maximum von-misses stress and natural frequency are computed. The main objective is to select the best material from the obtained result under prescribed conditions.
