Abstract
A fluid mount with the capability of actively controlling the amount of vibrational energy transmitted thereacross. An actuator is provided in series or in parallel with the inertia track passageway of a double pumper isolation mount to permit the dynamic stiffness of the mount to be varied so as to control the amount of vibrational energy transmitted in a desired manner. A control system for permitting frequency-shaped force feedback control of the device is also disclosed. Utilization of the device as a tuned absorber is also described.
