The mount (l0) includes first and second chambers (l8, 28) containing water, glycol or similar conventional hydraulic fluid of low viscosity, and at least a third chamber (48a) containing electrorheological fluid that is used to "tune" the frequencies at which the mount (l0) experiences abrupt reduction of dynamic stiffness. The third chamber (48a) is contiguous with one of the first and second chambers (l8, 28), and with one end of an inertia track passageway (36a) whose opposite end is contiguous with the other of the first and second chambers (l8, 28). Energization of an electrode-type of valve (50a) associated with the third chamber (48a) produces a high voltage electrical field and fluid solidification within the third chamber (48a). Pressure pulses are transmitted through the third chamber (48a) only when the valve (50a) is de-energized. The valve (50a) has electrode elements (52, 5l) which may be of flat or spiral shape. The mount (l0) may include additional valved chambers (48b), and additional passageways (36b) which preferably are of differing sizes. |
