Abstract

Recently, active mounting systems have been applied to automotive engine mounts to effectively mitigate structure-borne vibrations throughout the vehicle chassis. Active mounting systems have been investigated extensively to alleviate the vibration and noise of automobiles; however, the actual engine mounting orientation is not considered, and only an extremely small range of specific vibration and noise control is examined. This paper presents the modeling, analysis, and control of a source structure with an active mounting system while considering the location and direction of actual automotive engine mounts. Two active mounts comprising a piezoelectric stack actuator arranged in series with an elastomeric mount are applied to mitigate both vertical and horizontal vibrations by setting a variable parameter via the dynamic relation of the source structure. When harmonic excitation forces are employed, the secondary force required by each active mount can be calculated mathematically, and a control signal is applied to reduce vibrations through destructive interference with the input signal. Simulation results show that the excitation vibration can be reduced using this bidirectional active mount. Hence, noise vibration harshness is expected to be improved by controlling the vibration of the actual automotive engine structure and the secondary force of actuators.
