Abstract: In engineering practice,various uncertainties inevitably exist in the powertrain mounting system (PMS) of vehicle. In this study,fuzzy variables were introduced to address the uncertain parameters of a PMS involving fuzziness. Firstly,the fuzzy Monte-Carlo method (FMCM) was developed to calculate the fuzzy responses of inhe-rent characteristics of PMS. Then,an efficient analysis method named as fuzzy perturbation-central difference me-thod (FPCDM) was derived to improve computational efficiency. Next,the reliability-based analysis and design optimization method of the PMS with fuzziness was proposed based on FPCDM. Finally,the effectiveness of the pro-posed method was verified by a numerical example,and the fuzzy reliability and optimal design of the PMS with fuzziness were also investigated.

Key words: powertrain mounting system, fuzzy uncertainty, inherent characteristics, reliability analysis, opti-mized design
