Hydraulic engine mounts: a survey

An ideal engine mount should provide a dual behavior. It needs to be soft to reduce the transmitted force, and to be hard to limit the relative displacement. The constant parameter linear mounts are unable to provide a good isolation when the excitation frequency is variable. Hydraulic engine mounts were invented as smart isolators to passively produce a soft isolator at low amplitude and a hard isolator at high amplitude. Having a dual behavior puts the mounts in the domain of nonlinear systems which in turn causes many new phenomena which have never appeared in linear analysis. The dual behavior hydraulic engine mounts were introduced around 1980 and passed through many analytic and technical improvements. This article will review these improvements up to 2012 and discusses the technical problems and methods of remedy.
