The impact of stiffness of engine suspension cushions in an all-terrain vehicle on its transverse displacement

The article presents the results of experimental research carried out for different types of diesel engine suspension cushions (plate connectors) in two all-terrain cars. The study was performed using three types of engines in three combustion engines operating conditions. The analyzed parameters were transverse displacement engine vibrations caused during various engine operating conditions between the engine and body of the vehicle. The results of the tests of different types of plate connectors for engine suspension can be useful when designing propulsion systems for military vehicles and military utility all-terrain cars, or as shown by the author [4,5] to modernize the existing military vehicles. Vibrations transmitted to the body chassis can also have a significant impact on the operation of the vehicle mounted equipment and weaponry.
