To characterize the stress flow behavior of engineering plastic glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PPGF) commonly used in automotive interior and exterior components, mechanical property is measured using a universal material testing machine and a servo-hydraulic tensile testing machine under quasi-static, high temperature, and high strain rate conditions. Stress versus strain curves of materials under different conditions are obtained. Based on the measured results, a new parameter identification method of the Johnson-Cook (J-C) constitutive model is proposed by considering the adiabatic temperature rise effect. Firstly, a material-level experiment method is carried out for glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PPGF) materials, and the influence of wide strain rate range, and large temperature span on the material properties is studied from a macroscopic perspective.

As an important vibration damping element in automobile, the rubber mount can effectively reduce the vibration transmitted from the engine to the frame. In this study, a method of parameters identification of Mooney-Rivlin model by using surrogate model was proposed to more accurately describe the mechanical behavior of mount. Firstly, taking the rubber mount as the research object, the stiffness measurement was carried out. And then the calculation model of the rubber mount was established with Mooney-Rivlin model. Latin hypercube sampling was used to obtain the force and displacement calculation data in different directions. Then, the parameters of the Mooney-Rivlin model were taken as the design variables. And the error of the measured force-displacement curve and the calculated force-displacement curve was taken as the system response. Two surrogate models, the response surface model and the back-propagation neural network, were established.

As an important vibration damping element in automobile industries, the vibration transmitted from the engine to the frame can be reduced effectively because of rubber mount. The influence of preload on the static characteristics of rubber mount and the constitutive parameters identification of Mooney-Rivlin model under preload were studied. Firstly, a test rig for stiffness measurement of rubber mount under preload was designed and the influence of preload on the force versus displacement of mount was studied. Then, the model for estimating force versus displacement of rubber mount was established. The response surface model for parameters identification was established. And the identification method for estimating parameters of Mooney-Rivlin model of rubber mount was proposed with the crow search algorithm. Taking the rubber mount as the research object and taking the parameters of Mooney-Rivlin model as the variables.

Aiming at the problem of middle and low frequency noise absorption, a combined sound-absorbing structure is designed based on porous material and a coiled-up cavity resonance structure. Combined with the sound absorption principle of porous materials and coiled-up cavities, a theoretical analytical model was established. By the finite element method, the sound absorption coefficient curve of the combined structure in a frequency range of 500-2000Hz is calculated, and the correctness of the analytical calculation and the finite element simulation calculation was verified in the impedance tube experiment. The results show that the combined structure has good sound absorption performance in the 500Hz-2000Hz frequency band, and the sound absorption peak appears near the 1108Hz frequency, reaching nearly perfect sound absorption. Compared with a single porous material, the sound absorption performance of the combined structure is better.

Hydraulic engine mounts are a typical non-linear system. Compared with rubber mount, it has good dynamic characteristics under different excitation, so it has been widely used in automobiles. The vibration isolation performance of hydraulic engine mounts is related to its dynamic characteristics, and its dynamic characteristics are closely related to mount model parameters. Therefore, parameter identification of hydraulic engine mounts has become a prerequisite for studying its dynamic characteristics and even vibration isolation performance. Aiming at the damping parameters of mount model parameters, based on Volterra series theory, this paper takes the inertial track-floating decoupler hydraulic engine mount as the research object, and proposes the identification method of the damping phase angle of the hydraulic engine mount and the damping parameters of the fluid damping mechanism.

The inline 3-cylinder engine is taken as an object, the imbalance resultant rotating inertia moment and resultant reciprocating inertia moment generated by piston-crank mechanisms are analyzed. The balance theories of two different balance methods are presented and the additional moment generated through each method is derived. Three different balance conditions are proposed. The imbalance moments and mount reaction forces in each condition are calculated and compared. The powertrain mounting system design method is developed. The optimal mount stiffness not only satisfy the powertrain's natural frequencies and energy distributions but also meet the requirement for mount reaction forces in “50% balance condition”.
