Summary:

Diesel powertrains are inherently characterized by high vibration levels and low-frequency excitations, which are extremely demanding for passenger comfort and vehicle refinement. Conventional passive engine mounts often fall short in mitigating such vibrations effectively across a wide range of operating conditions. Passive mounts are inadequate for effectively isolating vibrations in powerful, lightweight vehicles or those without a balancer shaft 3-cylinder engine ordiesel engines. Consequently, this has prompted the consideration of active engine mounts as an alternative solution for solving NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness)-related issues. This paper explores the application of adaptive control algorithms in active engine mount systems for diesel powertrains in passenger vehicles. Through the integration of real-time feedback loops with smart control strategies the system adaptively controls mount stiffness and damping to minimize engine-induced vibrations. The study presents simulation and experimental results showing enhanced vibration isolation, better ride quality, and lower transmitted forces to the vehicle chassis. In addition, the adaptive control ensures high robustness under varying driving conditions, such as load variations and engine transients. This trend opens up the future for next-generation diesel vehicle NVH solutions with a comfort-performance-fuel efficiency balance
