The Model Simulation Analysis of Electro-Rheological Fluid Engine Mounting System

Abstract:

The mathematical model of the electro-rheological fluid engine mounting system is set up, Combining the electro-rheological fluid effect with hydraulic mount technology and considering the flexibility of the car frame. The simulation model of electro-rheological fluid engine mounting system is build up by the Simulink module of Matlab software to simulate the representative situations of the system, and the displacement and acceleration characteristic curves of the powerplant and the car frame is received. The simulation results indicate that the vibration isolation capability of the system with electric field is better than the one without electric field.
