Car engine mounts are an important vibro-isolation element, which serves as a vibration path from actively vibrating components to passive substructures. Vibrations and noise represent a major part of quality assessment, especially in the automotive industry, therefore new product development tends to define dynamic characteristics even more precisely. This thesis presents a characterization process of a rubber damping engine mount with a dynamic substructuring method. It allows the acquirement of dynamic stiffness in both translatory and rotational degrees of freedom. We verified used methods with our experimental characterization of a commonly used engine mount.
