Summary:

In the development of engine mounting systems for passenger cars, accurately capturing dynamic loads during real-world driving conditions is crucial for optimizing performance, durability, and NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) characteristics. This paper introduces an innovative approach that integrates load cell and strain gauge technologies for Road Load Data (RLD) acquisition, specifically designed for engine mounting applications.By combining load cells and strain gauges, this method offers a comprehensive solution for measuring both direct forces and the resulting strains on engine mounts, providing a more detailed understanding of the load profiles. Load cells capture the overall forces exerted on the engine mounts, while strategically placed strain gauges measure local deformations and stress distributions within the mounts. This dual-method approach enables precise correlation of force and strain data, enhancing the accuracy of load calculations under various driving conditions.The data collected from this combined methodology is then used to refine the design and material selection of engine mounts, ensuring they can withstand the complex and varying loads encountered in passenger vehicles. By integrating these two measurement techniques, the study demonstrates a significant improvement in the reliability of load data, which is critical for developing more effective and durable engine mounting systems.In conclusion, the hybrid use of load cell and strain gauge-based RLD provides a robust and accurate method for engine mount load analysis in passenger cars, contributing to improved NVH performance and extended component life. This approach represents a valuable advancement in automotive engineering, offering insights that could lead to the development of next-generation engine mounts optimized for real-world conditions
