Rubber bushings and mounts are vastly used in automotive applications as support and interface elements. In suspension systems, they are commonly employed to interconnect the damping structure to the chassis. Therein, the viscoelastic nature of the material introduces a desirable filtering effect to reduce mechanical vibrations. When designing a suspension system, available literature often deals with viscoelastic mounts by introducing a linear or nonlinear stiffness behavior. In this context, the present paper aims at representing the rubber material using a proper viscoelastic model with the selection of different in-wheels motors. Thus, the mount dynamic behavior's influence in a suspension is studied and discussed thoroughly through numerical simulations and sensitivity analyses. Furthermore, guidelines are proposed to orient the designer when selecting these elements.
