Abstract : It is well known that the problem of Noise and vibration is one of the major issues in the automobiles and particularly in the diesel engine vehicles. The diesel engine vehicle usage is been increased due to the fuel economy and mileage. But the main disadvantage is the vibration and noise that arises in the engine, whereas it is more in the diesel engine when compared to the petrol engine. It is well known that the power train is the main source of the vibration producing part in the vehicle and which is been mounted on the engine frame that supplies the power to the vehicle. The part that connects the engine and the chassis is the engine mount that plays a vital role in transmission of the engine vibration to the vehicle structure which has to be designed in such a way that the vibration and noise from the engine power train can be isolated, here we are going to use a semi-active hydraulic engine mount that reduces the vibration of the engine and subsequently do the modeling and analysis of the semi-active hydraulic engine mount and to compare with the mount characteristics of the other types of engine mounts that are available and conclude that the semi-active engine mount is one of the feasible component to reduce the vibration inside the cabin of the diesel engine passenger car. © 2006-2016 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
