ENGINE MOUNT SYSTEM AND ELEMENTS FOR REDUCED FORCE TRANSMISSION AND REDUCED STATIC MOTION AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
20200346773 · 2020-11-05 ·

Compliant mounting systems, devices, and methods for mounting a vehicle engine to a vehicle structure or base include a top mount, a lower mount, a center trunnion mount, and an aft mount which are configured to react forces transmitted by the engine to the vehicle structure. Metallic and elastomeric elements can provide vibrational and force isolation characteristics. Stops (e.g., snubbing elements) allow for a specific range of motion before internal mount structures contact each other to act as a conventional hard mount. Fluid elements and compressible gas-filled spaces/bladders may be incorporated to provide fluid damping behaviors to complement the metallic and elastomeric elements.

REAR ENGINE ATTACHMENT FOR AN AIRCRAFT PROPULSION UNIT

A rear engine attachment having a beam fixed to a pylon, a spreader pivotally mounted on the beam, the spreader comprising two ends situated on either side of a median plane, two rods located one on either side of the median plane, each rod having a first end fixed to one end of the spreader by a ball joint and a second end fixed to the engine, each ball joint comprising a clevis with two arms at the first end of the rod, a swivel bearing arranged on the end of the spreader, and a hinge pin passing through the two arms, the swivel bearing arranged between the two arms and fitted on the hinge pin. For each ball joint, an interface part is removably interposed between the end of the spreader and the first end of the rod and forms a contact surface between the spreader and the rod.
