Abstract EN
Hybrid propulsion technologies, including hybrid electric and hydraulic hybrid, equip vehicles with nonconventional power sources (in addition to the internal combustion engine) to provide higher fuel efficiency.
However, these technologies tend to lead to higher levels of noise, vibration, and harshness in the vehicles, mainly due to the switching between the multiple power sources involved.
In addition, the shocks and vibrations associated with the power sources switching may occur over a wide range of frequencies.
It has been proven that passive vibration isolators (e.g., elastomeric and hydraulic mounts) are unable to mitigate or totally isolate such shocks and vibrations.
Active mounts, while effective, are more complex, require significant power to operate, and can lead to system instabilities.
Semiactive vibration isolators have been shown to be as effective as active mounts while being less complex and requiring less power to operate.
This paper presents a review of novel semiactive shock and vibration isolators developed using magnetorheological and electrorheological fluids.
These fluids change their yield stress in response to an externally applied magnetic and electric field, respectively.
As a result, these fluids allow one to transform a passive hydraulic vibration isolator into a semiactive device.
