Abstract
The present subject matter relates to improved damping fluid mount devices, systems, and methods in which a damping fluid mount (100) includes an inner member (110), an elastomer section (130) that is affixed to an outer surface of the inner member (110), and a cup (200) containing viscous fluid (300). The elastomer section (130) has an outer diameter that is variable along an elastomer contour, and a crimped portion of the cup is radially crimped into the elastomer section (130) such that the crimped portion precompresses the elastomer section (130) and substantially mimics the elastomer contour.
