... and mechanically-free conditions. The MHA is benchmarked against a commercial electromagnetic driver used in active powertrain mounts in terms of mechanical performance (blocked force and unloaded displacement) and electrical power consumption. Measurements show that the MHA achieves more than twice the frequency...

...David York; Xiaojie Wang; Faramarz Gordaninejad In this study, the performance of a new controllable mount design utilizing a magnetorheological material encapsulated in an elastomer matrix is investigated. A magnetorheological fluid-elastomer (MRF-E) mount is designed and fabricated, and its...

...-powered MR damper, a single-degree-of-freedom engine mount system using the MR damper is simulated. The governing equation of motion for the engine mount system is derived. A parametric study is conducted to find the optimal stiffness of the energy-harvesting DVA for the engine mount system. The isolation...

...A. R. Ohadi; G. Maghsoodi In this paper, vibration behavior of engine on the nonlinear hydraulic engine mount, including inertia track and decoupler, is studied. In this regard, after introducing the nonlinear factors of this mount (i.e., inertia and decoupler resistances in turbulent region...

...Sudhir Kaul; Anoop K. Dhingra; Timothy G. Hunter This paper examines the influence of frame flexibility on the optimization of an engine mounting system for enhanced vibration isolation in motorcycles. A theoretical model is developed to represent the structural dynamics of an engine mount system...
