Abstract
This paper considers important aspects of rigid body dynamics of
power trains with respect to noise and vibration (by definition a
power train (PT) term here is an engine plus transmission). Flexibility
of PTs and their ancillaries leads to unwanted levels of noise and
vibration. By employing rigid body concepts we can assess the levels
of unwanted flexibility of whole PTs and their ancillaries e.g.
mounting brackets. Using dedicated software based on rigid body
theory it is possible to define vibration and noise entitlement i.e.
minimum vibration and noise that can theoretically be achieved.
Targets can then be to set based upon these entitlements. This can
then lead to better more robust designs to achieve higher levels of
refinement. The use of generic 3 and 4 cylinder one liter in-line PTs
modes are used within the software to aid this study. These PTs can
be shown to adhere more to rigid body behavior due to their compact
designs and lower (frequency) dominant orders of excitation. This
paper steps through from basic understanding of rigid PT behavior
then shows some rigid vibration and noise results for generic 3 and 4
cylinder PTs at key mount positions it then leads into leads onto how
and why rigid vibration theory can help improve refinement with
accompanying graphs and schematics to clarify understanding.
Introduction
In physics, a rigid body is an idealization of a solid body in which
deformation is neglected. In other words, the distance between any
two given points of a rigid body remains constant in time regardless
of external forces exerted on it.
All rotating machinery suffers from this lack of rigidity which leads
to noise and vibration. What separates out refined machinery from
unrefined is robustness of design. A fundamental aspect of robust
design is rigidity. The opposite to this that makes a machine
unrefined is often due to unwanted flexibility.
PTs are no different, there have been many good, and poor designs
installed in all manner of automobiles. This paper presents some
basic PT rigid body vibration patterns and how they can be utilized to
set help set targets. This involves the use of dedicated prediction
programs that employ simple rigid lumped mass and inertia and
excitations definitions for prediction of 6 degrees of freedom
movement. The frequency range of this study is primarily from 20+
to 200 Hz. From 0-20+ Hz there are normally 6 rigid body PT modes
that results in often quite complex coupled translational and
rotational modes. These modes are heavily influenced by elastomeric
mounts rates and geometry as much as on the mass and inertia

Figures 6-7 shows a quite different picture for the much more
complex similar sized 3 cylinder in-line PT. Higher levels are seen
due to the lower order higher torque recoil excitation, and at least two
vibration orders play a bigger part.

Figures 11-13 show ENRA outputs for the 3 cylinder power train
featured. Figures 12-13 shows the breakdown for RH mount 1,
clearly dominated again by Z direction but with much more complex
order contribution (Fig. 13). (Mount stiffening of 0.25N/mm/Hz also
used).

Any PT point in 3d space is then calculated using rigid body transformation equations.
(NB: The results for EVRA have been 100% correlated to commercial software rigid body results e.g. Nastran)
