A motor coach is provided having a supporting structure arranged to mount an engine assembly thereon. Isolator mounts mount the engine on the supporting structure for permitting limited relative movement therebetween. Inertia transmitting means in the form of a pair of links are mounted between the engine and the supporting structure. The links connect to the front end of the engine and extend generally horizontally to the supporting structure for substantially restricting the motion of the front end of the engine to upward and downward deflections. The inertia of the engine assembly (20) thus constrains the structural motions of the motor coach, creating a significant dynamic stiffening effect in the primary natural vibration structural bending mode of the motor coach.
L'invention concerne un autobus, comprenant une structure de support agencée de manière à monter un ensemble moteur sur celle-ci. Des montants d'éléments d'isolation montent le moteur sur ladite structure de support, de façon à autoriser un déplacement relatif limité entre eux. Un organe de transmission d'inertie, sous forme d'une paire de liaisons, est monté entre le moteur et la structure de support. Les liaisons relient le train avant du moteur, et s'étendent généralement horizontalement par rapport à la surface de support, de façon à limiter sensiblement le déplacement du train avant du moteur à des déviations vers le haut et vers le bas. En conséquence, l'inertie de l'ensemble moteur (20) contraint les déplacements structurels de l'autobus, créant un effet dynamique significatif, en mode primaire de flexion structurale de vibration naturelle de l'autobus.
