DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF FOUR WHEELER AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET

FEM, Mounting Bracket, Design, performance, MassAbstract
In order to get better designs, the industry was using tools like the FEM Optimization from couple of decades. These types of optimization techniques are useful in validation and optimizing the design to get new size and shape. These techniques surely reduced the design time, when compared to the experimental testing. In this project an engine mounting bracket is selected for analysis; there are four mounting brackets to mount the engine on chassis. This is a very important parameter as the product market life is reducing and there is a need to get more new and better designs with less time to decrease the cost and at the same time increase the stiffness to mass ratio and performance. In this project I have reduced the mass in 0.22kgs per component and as per the cost wise in the year 352000 Rupees saved.
