This study evaluates the stiffness and damping characteristics of low-profile magnetorheological (MR) fluid mounts (MRFM) to provide a better understanding vibration improvements offered by such mounts, as compared with conventional elastomeric mounts. It also aims at assessing how much mount’s performance is due MR elastomer steel insert that used in MRFM. The includes design, analysis, fabric...

The dispersed particles of magnetorheological fluid form stable chain-like clusters under the magnetic field, and show an effect of controllable flowability and shape. Based on this characteristic, using migration magnetic acted on the magnetorheological fluid, the object directional migration can be realized, and then the magnetorheological fluid forms levitation at the same time, which has li...

To address the problem of multiple working conditions and complex requirements in magnetorheological fluid (MRF) mounts, a high-precision damping characteristic optimization method is explored. Based on parallel plate model, equation motion inertial channel was established according to Navier–Stokes equation, MRF mount characteristics were analyzed. Considering model be suitable steady-state, e...

Optimization of engine mounts has been performed in several studies; some of them investigated single mount model, some studied mounted engine model, and others discussed on full-vehicle model. The goal of this study is to determine which model is more appropriate for the optimization of Hydraulic Engine Mounts (HEMs). A fullvehicle model is difficult to be modeled, and simulation of the model ...

In this paper, the analysis of engine mounting structures that will be applied to electric vehicles is conducted. The structure subjected static loading from mounted components assembly, including assembly gearbox, motor, and corresponding brackets. arrangement, HSLA material mostly used general structural steel such as AISI 4130 also used. This study aims evaluate existing design so further op...
