Passive Magnetorheological Fluid Filled Hydraulic Engine Mount

Using magnetorheological (MR) fluids in hydraulic engine mount for damping vehicle noise and vibration is opposed firstly, the structure of passive type and its mechanical model are described. The analysis of the experimental data show that the dynamic characteristics of MR mount such as dynamic stiffness and loss angles vary distinctly as the excitation frequency, and MR fluids as one type of attracting controllable fluids are fit for hydraulic engine mounts. The author advises to work out potentialities of MR fluids, the semi control or active control MR fluids filled hydraulic engine mount must be developed.
