Abstract
A motor vehicle engine mount is disclosed comprising a core of a solid material placed between two parts made of elastomeric material, each of which is connected to a rigid outer part attached to the engine or the chassis. The core is determined to vibrate at a frequency corresponding to that of the engine and in a direction substantially counter to the vibration of the engine and is shaped relative to the outer parts such that a reduction occurs in the distance separating it from the outer parts in one of the vibration directions, leading to an increase in the spring rate of the mounting arrangement.
