Three-dimensional computer aided design technology has made remarkable advances in the manufacturing industry and has been applied to various products and scopes (e.g., motorcycle manufacturing). In addition, by adopting the finite element method (FEM), we can analyze the dynamic behaviors of products accurately. In the design stage, modal analysis using FEM calculates the natural mode shapes and frequencies of an object or structure during free vibration. To reduce the vibration or noise, natural mode shapes and the kinetic and potential energy distribution are confirmed. However, it is still difficult to design mechanical components for vibration reduction based on this information. This study presents the extraction of mechanical components for vibration reduction and a mechanical design using the tuned frequency of that component.
