Engine vibrations have been one of the major problems for the engine manufacturers in the world. The engine excitation forces, arising from the gas pressure and unbalance forces are the sources of vibrations.Anti Vibration Mounts(AVMs) are the structures used to absorb the vibrations and dampen the harm causing forces. Mount result in a system which is modeled as mass/spring/damper. The elastomer is under vertical and shear load at the sa me time. The engine is bolted freely on mount which dampens the vibrations going to the base frame/canopy. The validation of their characteristics is implemented in a single degree of freedom system with response to frequency domain. The engine is mounted freely on the AVM's which helps to da mpen the vibrations to base frame. Frequency Response Function(FRF) is derived for analysis, analytically and Computer Aided Engineering(CAE). Comparative is also made to suggest which material is to be selected for AVMs. A single AVM is analyzed for modal and frequency response with the upper plate as a part of engine structure and the bottom plate as the base frame. Comparative study of the two conditions using materials and also without mount and w ith mount is analyzed
