Abstract:

Increasing current vehicle development trends for small, light, front wheel drive vehicles with low idle speeds have been forced automotive industries to use hydraulic engine mounts for further improvement in vibration, noise and harshness (NVH) performance of the vehicles. However, with the development of modern vehicle designs such as hybrid vehicles and variable engine management systems which have different operational modes, more sophisticated engine mounting systems are required to effectively response to each operational mode. Magnetorheological (MR) engine mount is a semi-active hydraulic engine mount, containing MR fluid, which can alter its dynamic behavior as a result of applying magnetic field. In this paper, design concept of two MR mounts is presented and their dynamic behavior is simulated. It is shown that the simulation methods used in this paper for simulating the dynamic behaviors of the MR mounts are effective with which the dynamic characteristic analysis and design optimization of MR mounts can be performed before its prototype development. Because of increasing demands for semi-active MR mounts in automotive industries, this can ensure their low cost and high quality for development.

Off-Design Performance Prediction of Jet Engines

In this paper it is attempted to predict the off-design performance of a jet engine. After a review of the governing equations, the off-design performance is investigated by two methods. In the first method, the component characteristic curves of the Gas Turbines are used. In the second method some design point parameters and the reference state conditions are employed. The results obtained by ...

Performance Analysis of Modified Qserl Circuit

This work is based on a new approach for minimizing energy consumption in quasi static energy recovery logic (QSERL) circuit which involves optimization by removing the non adiabatic losses completely. Energy recovering circuitry based on adiabatic principles is a promising technique leading towards lowpower high performance circuit design. The efficiency of such circuits may be increased by re...
