An interactive computer program has been developed to design aircraft engine mounting systems used for vibration isolation. Mount design is largely driven by two competing criteria. Mounts must be soft enough to provide vibration isolation, yet stiff enough to support the engine without excessive motions. The constrained variable metric optimization technique is used to determine the mount design parameters which minimize the transmitted forces in the mounts, subject to constraints on the maximum allowable deflection of the engine to static forces. The design parameters are the stiffness and orientation of each individual engine mount. The aircraft engine is modeled as a rigid body that is mounted to a rigid base representing the nacelle. An example is used to show that the optimization technique is effective in designing engine mounting system.
