<p>A fluid and elastomer damper (10) includes a first and second members (20, 60) and an elastomer section (40) flexibly mounting the second member to the first member and allowing lateral movement therebetween. The elastomer section (40) includes an inner wall (47) forming a portion of a cavity defined within the damper and a damping fluid (52) disposed within the cavity. A flexible damping plate separates the cavity into first and second chambers (44, 48). At least one passageway (50) is formed between the damping plate (130) and the inner wall (47), the passageway (50) exhibiting a gap dimension between the wall (47) and the damping plate (130). When lateral movement occurs between the first and second members (20, 60), the gap dimension is maintained substantially constant by flexing of the damping plate (130) along the lateral direction.</p> |
