Abstract
A hydraulic mount assembly includes a body with a main chamber formed therein. A magnetorheological fluid retaining member is positioned in the main chamber forming a magnetorheological chamber adjacent the main chamber. An electrical coil is positioned adjacent the magnetorheological chamber and a plate member is operably connected to the magnetorheological fluid retaining member. Energization and de-energization of the coil controls the ability of the mount to resist movement by varying the apparent viscosity of the fluid within the magnetorheological chamber.
