Abstract(E)I3 engine has its unique advantage in helping OEM meeting the ever-increasing government regulations in emission and fuel consumptions. Its small size, low friction, and light weight provide OEM the opportunity in lowering the costs, reducing fuel consumption, and emissions. ISH predicts that the I3 engine will count for 38% of IC engine volume in 2025 in Chinese Auto Market. One of biggest issues of the I3 engine is its higher vibration levels, especially in idle conditions. This is primarily due to two reasons. First is that I3 engine cylinder layout results in 1st order inertia moments. Second is that I3 engine combustion produces higher combustion excitation torque with lower frequency (1.5th engine order). To compensate the 1st order inertia moments, a balance shaft is typically added to cancel these 1st order inertia moments. While the balance shaft reduces the vibration levels, it adds significant cost and weight in the I3 engine applications. In this paper, a study is carried out on a 1.0L I3 engine without balance shaft thought the Powertrain mount optimizations, including the robustness analysis. The optimization process is divided into two steps. The first step is to optimize the right and left Powertrain mount rates with different I3 engine balancing rates. The goal of this optimization is to minimize the vehicle vibrations in the idle conditions and start-up shake. The second step is to perform additional optimization on the Powertrain rear mount rate. The goal of this additional optimization is to further improve the vehicle start-up shake. The optimization processes in the first and second steps determine the nominal mount rates. Based on suppliers manufacturing capability, there will typically be +/-10-15% mount rate variations in production. To ensure that the vehicle system is robust to these mount rate variations, a robustness study is carried out, both in CAE analysis and testing. During the mount optimizations, a solid CAE analysis and testing correlation is established for idle vibration and start-up shake. This ensures that the CAE analysis can be used in the future designs.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
