hydraulic engine mount design

hydraulic engine mount design

(OP)
Hi,

I would like to know if it is practical to attempt the design of an engine mount that can cover a frequency range between 1 and 300Hz. The theory/modeling suggests that it is possible. However, I am not sure how would that work in a practical case. How would one change the dynamic stiffness (and potentially the notch freq) over such a large freq range.

I would really appreciate any feedback on this topic.

Thank you,

Cornel  

RE: hydraulic engine mount design

I think it might be possible, I doubt it is feasible.

The least of your worries is not being able to change the dynamic stiffness over that frequency range.

Have you got some test data over that sort of frequency range?

 

Cheers

Greg,

Thank you for your feedback.

The testing is one big problem, indeed. With the shaker we have we could run tests up to 120Hz. What happens after that is a total unknown for me.

My main concern is that the model I built for this mount (a linear model so far) predicts a somehow acceptable response over the entire range of freq by changing several parameters in the model, as I sweep the freq. However, I do not see how those parameters (specifically rubber compliance) can be changed in real time.

I noticed that in one of your past postings you refered to a hydraulic mount model with about 50 parameters. Do you have a reference I could consult on that?

 
Thank you,

Cornel  
 

RE: hydraulic engine mount design

Well, you knew the answer before you asked, it is proprietary.

SAE 2005-01-1065 might be a good place to start, but they only go to 50 hz, and 2002-08-0301 may be relevant

 

Cheers

Is this call number correct 2002-08-0301? I couldn't find it on SAE's website.

Thx

I cannot find this paper even with the new call number.  Do you have a title for it?

Thank you,
