In this paper, vibration behavior of engine on the nonlinear hydraulic engine mount, including inertia track and decoupler, is studied. In this regard, after introducing the nonlinear factors of this mount (i.e., inertia and decoupler resistances in turbulent region), the vibration governing equations of engine on one hydraulic engine mount are solved and the effect of nonlinearity is investigated. In order to have a comparison between the rubber and the hydraulic engine mounts, a six-degree-of-freedom four-cylinder V-shaped engine under shaking and balancing mass forces and torques is considered. By solving the time domain nonlinear equations of motion of the engine on three inclined mounts, translational and rotational motions of an engine body are obtained for different engine speeds. Transmitted base forces are also determined for both types of engine mount. Comparison of rubber and hydraulic mounts indicates the efficiency of a hydraulic one in the low-frequency region.
