Title: RESILIENT MOUNTINGS for Passenger-Car Powerplants
text: THIS paper discusses the application of resilient mountings to passenger-car powerplants. Resilient mountings have a threefold purpose: 1. They isolate engine vibration and torque impulses from the rest of the vehicle. 2. They insulate the engine mass from incoming excitations due to road irregularities. 3. Nos. 1 and 2 must be accomplished without allowing the powerplant mass to get into synchronous vibration with any component of the vehicle.
