Advanced vehicular technologies have been increasingly popular since they improve fuel economy. Automobiles with variable cylinder management are capable of turning on/off the cylinders in order to optimize the fuel consumption. Hybrid vehicles such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) or hydraulic hybrid vehicles (HHVs) allow the engines to operate in the most efficient region. Besides, the hybrid technology includes capturing the braking energy, otherwise wasted as heat, to aid the acceleration. However, the enhancement in fuel efficiency comes with unbalance, shock and wider range of frequency vibration. Noise and vibration is actually one of the main obstacles in commercializing the HHV technology. This study is to design a vibration isolator to work for HHVs effectively and economically. The vibration profile of HHVs is proven to include both shock load at the switches of power sources and wide frequency range of vibration. That the HHV’s engine is turned on/off frequently and the hydraulic pumps/motors operate between 0 and 2000RPM, corresponding to 0–300Hz, poses difficult challenges for the isolation system. Rubber mounts are cheap, but only good for static load support and suitable for low power engine. Passive hydraulic mounts are only effective for conventional engines with unvarying working schedules. On the other hand, the active mounts are responsive for any condition, but too costly for commercial vehicles. Semi-active mounts with magnetorheological fluid (MRF) have been researched and recognized as a highly potential solution for hydraulic hybrid vehicles. The semi-active MRF mount is constructed very similar to a conventional hydraulic mount. However, the working fluid is an MRF which can quickly change its characteristics when the magnetic field is present. The main features of the MRF mount include multiple controllable MR valves, utilizing the flow (valve) mode, to connect the top and bottom fluid chambers. In addition, the mount is also capable of employing the fluid in squeeze mode. The structure of the MRF mount allows the stiffness and damping to be controlled in real time. The controllability makes the mount tunable to particularly fit the requirements of the HHVs. In this study, a mathematical model was constructed to predict the performance of the mount. The parameters were tuned so that the mount is effective within the whole operating frequency range of the HHV’s vibration.

This paper presents the results of vibration isolation analysis for the pump/motor component of hydraulic hybrid vehicles (HHV). The hybrid subsystem can potentially improve the fuel efficiency of the vehicle by recovering some of the energy that is otherwise wasted in friction brakes. High pressure hydraulic fluid “assists” the engine in the initial acceleration period. Noise and vibration are an issue with these systems due to the variable hydraulic loads that are applied to the regenerative hybrid element. This study looks into the possibility of reducing the transmitted noise and vibration to the vehicle’s chassis by using smart magnetorheological (MR) dampers. MR dampers utilize MR fluid which is made of pure iron particles suspended in a carrier fluid. MR fluids deliver variable yield stress under the effect of a controllable electromagnetic field. To this end, an MR damper is modeled and simulated. In the simulation both shock and vibration loads are considered. The simulation results are compared with the performance of regular elastomer isolators. It is shown that the MR damper can effectively reduce the vibration for different working cycles of the regenerative system.

Purpose This paper aims to use this method to explore a new approach and possible technical optimal design for lubricant formulation. Design/methodology/approach The component of the developed oil was determined based on the physical and chemical properties of the base oil and the tribological properties. The analytic hierarchy process (ANP) method and SuperDecisions software were used for hydraulic oil modeling and calculation while taking performance index, work circumstance and economy into consideration. Findings The hydraulic oil formulation can be optimized using the ANP method, where the technical performance, economy and working circumstances of the hydraulic oils were taken into consideration in the evaluation system. The experiment analyzed and scored and screened the hydraulic oil formula in an objective and comprehensive manner. Originality/value The experiments showed that the newly developed hydraulic oils could meet the performance requirements for new energy vehicles equipped with hybrid hydraulic engines.

The paper analyzes the main applications of alternative fuels and lubricants in automotive vehicles, considers the possibility of using vegetable oils as a working fluid for hydraulic systems of agricultural machinery. Based on the laboratory findings, it states the ways to improve a lubrication formula based on rapeseed oil. The formula is proven to be optimal if it includes 88.9% rapeseed oil + 3.7% D-11 + 3.2% EFO + 4.197% graphite + 0.003% MS-200A, which is superior in tribological properties to MGE-46V hydraulic oil, and can be recommended for use in hydraulic systems of agricultural machinery as an alternative to mineral oils.
