Grazing Bifurcations and Chaos of a Hydraulic Engine Mount

The constitutive relationships of the rubber materials that act as the main spring of a hydraulic engine mount are nonlinear. In addition to material induced nonlinearity, further nonlinearities may be introduced by mount geometry, turbulent fluid behavior, temperature, boundary conditions, decoupler action, and hysteretic behavior. In this research all influence the behavior of the system only...

Functional Overview of Hydraulic Vehicle Engine Mount Classification

Car design incorporates many engineering sciences where today, have led to the use of advanced technologies in automobiles to provide more satisfaction and comfort for the passengers, increase the quality of vehicles, efficiency and more pleasure than previous cars. These issues can be categorized into two groups in general. In the first group, the effects and performance of components involved...

Designing a buffer-equipped hydraulic engine mount for mid-priced vehicles

A combined hydraulic engine mount and buffer is proposed in this study for use in the mid-priced vehicle. In some vehicle design projects, an engine is selected to use in a new car design. To achieve the desired vibration conditions, the mount can be redesigned with exorbitant costs and long-term research. The idea of using a buffer in the combination of the conventional engine mount is to sugg...

Transient Response of Hydraulic Engine Mount to a Realistic Excitation: Improved Non-Linear Models and Validation

Competing linear, quasi-linear and non-linear hydraulic mount formulations of fixed and free decoupler types are comparatively evaluated for transient responses. First, features of the realistic excitation conditions are addressed. For instance, the mean load itself may vary with time, and several sinusoidal or transient excitations may be simultaneously present. Second, a multi-staged top cham...

Modeling of a hydraulic engine mount for active pneumatic engine vibration control using the extended Kalman filter

The attenuation of engine vibration transmitted to a chassis has been a major focus in the automotive community for the increase of comfort for the driver and passengers. A hydro-mount system is designed to reduce the transmission of engine vibration to the chassis. It is also used for supporting the static load by an engine weight. In this paper, we present a modeling and parameter estimation ...
