ABSTRACT:
A method is described for identifying the primary load path of a particular engine. An elastomeric mount may then be made laterally soft in a first (in the disclosed case, the tangential) direction and more rigid in the direction of the primary load path. Efforts can then be directed to dynamically softening the mount in the primary load path. Specific apparatus may include passive fluid devices, active fluid devices, passive non-fluid devices and active non-fluid devices. In the case of a fluid mount, another feature of the invention is to have an auxiliary fill port of the volume compensator in alignment with at least one and, preferably both, of the primary fill port for the mount and the inertia track to facilitate filling.
