: Mass and inertia properties of alternator and steering pump are given in Tables and . Upon request, the authors will provide contact details for modal analysis and input parameters for the topology optimization problem presented in this paper. The finite element model of the engine and alternator support geometry are confidential data of FCA and protected. Any optimization study by using the introduced inputs on similar geometry will produce similar results like seen in numerical analysis section.
