A Computer Simulation Method for Dynamic Analysis of Hydraulic Engine Mount System

  • Published : 2002.03.01

Abstract

In this paper, a computer simulation method is presented far the dynamic analysis of a hydraulic engine mount system. The hydraulic engine mount system controls the damping characteristics using the viscosity of fluid flow. The complex stiffnesses of the main rubber for the hydraulic engine mount system are computed using a finite element analysis. The equations of motion considering the parameters of the hydraulic engine mount system are derived. To investigate the effects of the hydraulic engine mount system, the computer simulation running over a typical rough road is carried out using a vehicle dynamic model. These results are compared with those of the conventional rubber mount system.
