ABSTRACT
The study investigates the performance of a semi-active vehicle engine mount incorporating
an MR damper working in the squeeze mode (MRSQD), summarising its design, operating
principles and key characteristics. The mathematical model of the mount is formulated
based on the newly developed MRSQD. Two control algorithms are proposed for MRSQD
control. The first algorithm (ALG1) uses the inverse model of the engine-frame system, the
other is the sliding mode algorithm (ALG2). The effectiveness of the engine mount system
is demonstrated in computer simulation.
