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.

A semi-active engine mount for a vehicle is provided to improve the NVH performance and ride quality. An engine mount for a vehicle includes a rubber module with a rubber having a core therein, and a case that surrounds an exterior circumference of the rubber and a fluid module with a module case coupled to the rubber module to define an upper and lower chamber and having straight and a bypass flow paths, a closure configured to open or close the straight flow path, and a diaphragm installed on the module case to close the lower chamber. A coil module has a coil embedded in the fluid module and configured to open and close the closure when a power source is turned on or off. In particular, a high loss factor when the vehicle travels is reduced, and decreasing dynamic characteristics when the vehicle idles is decreased.

An engine mount includes a nozzle plate mounted between an insulator and a diaphragm so as to divide an interior into an upper liquid chamber and a lower liquid chamber, and an annular flow path formed in the nozzle plate so that an encapsulated hydraulic liquid flows between the upper liquid chamber and the lower liquid chamber, the nozzle plate being opened at an upper side of the flow path; a shielding member which has two or more shielding plates arranged to cover the upper side of the flow path; an adjusting bolt which is rotatably mounted in a core coupled to the insulator; and a connector, in which the shielding plates are folded or unfolded in accordance with a rotation of the adjusting bolt, and a size of an upper flow path hole is determined depending on a state in which the shielding plates are folded or unfolded.

A switchable hydraulic bearing for mounting of a motor-vehicle assembly comprises a support bearing and a mount connected by a support spring, and a working chamber and an equalization chamber fillable with damping liquid that are spatially separated by a separating wall and connected by a damping channel in the separating wall.

The diaphragm may be switchable by a switching device comprising an elastic lever disc axially adjacent to the second nozzle disc. An electromagnet may connect to the lever disc and can adjust the lever disc between a first position, permitting axial play of the diaphragm in the gap, and a second position, acting on the second nozzle disc and clamping the diaphragm between nozzle discs.

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.
