METHODS OF ATTENUATING VIBRATION TRANSFER TO A PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
Methods of attenuating vibration transfer to a body of a vehicle using a dynamic mass of the vehicle via minimizing a particular angular frequency of a wheel. One method includes receiving vehicle information over a time interval and determining, based on the vehicle information, an instantaneous angular velocity that corresponds to a particular angular frequency of the wheel. This method includes generating a gain-and-phase-compensated actuator drive command to counteract a vibration that occurs at the particular angular frequency of the wheel, which is based on the instantaneous angular velocity, and communicating the gain-and-phase-compensated actuator drive command to a hydraulic mount assembly that supports the dynamic mass. This method includes actuating an actuator of the hydraulic mount assembly in response to the gain-and-phase-compensated actuator drive command in order to minimize the vibration transfer to the body due to the vibration that occurs at the particular angular frequency of the wheel.
Vibration damping device
A vibration damping device including a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting first and second mounting members. An upper portion of the main rubber elastic body constitutes a small-diameter portion to which the first mounting member is bonded, while a lower portion thereof constitutes a large-diameter portion to which the second mounting member is bonded. The first mounting member includes an inner recess opening onto an outer circumferential surface thereof, and the small-diameter portion of the main rubber elastic body is bonded to the inner recess. The main rubber elastic body has an outside diameter dimension made larger at a portion bonded to the inner recess than an outside diameter dimension of the first mounting member at a lower side than the inner recess such that the small-diameter portion of the main rubber elastic body is thick-walled by being bonded to the inner recess.
HYDRAULIC BEARING FOR SUPPORTING AN ASSEMBLY OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
A hydraulic bearing for supporting an assembly of a motor vehicle includes a carrying bearing portion and a support portion. In embodiments, a working chamber that is fillable with hydraulic fluid is formed in the carrying bearing portion, and a compensating chamber that is fillable with hydraulic fluid is formed in the support portion. A nozzle disc, through which the flow can pass and which delimits the working chamber from the compensating chamber, may be arranged between the carrying bearing portion and the support portion, and a damping duct for the fluidic communication of the working chamber with the compensating chamber may be formed in the nozzle disc. In embodiments, the two chambers, the damping duct, and the hydraulic fluid may form a first damping system for damping vibrations of lower frequencies and a second damping system may be formed for damping vibrations of higher frequencies.
