Abstract
A fluid mount (20) provides a flexible connection and fluid effects such as damping and/or fluid inertia for a supported member (22) attached to a supporting member (24) in a singular and unitary package. The fluid mount (20) includes a beam (34) and a laminated elastomer and shim construction bonded thereto, defining variable volume fluid chambers (44, 46, 48, 50) and interconnecting fluid passageways (52, 54). Fluid effects are provided in both a radial translational mode (loading at R) and a rotational mode (loading at T) to suppress vibrations of the supported member (22).
