“…translational in the vertical (bounce), lateral and longitudinal directions and rotational about the vertical (yaw), lateral (roll) and longitudinal (pitch) axis [1,8,11,14]. However it was noted that the dominant excitation occurs along the vertical direction and is sinusoidal in nature [10,12,15,16]. Thus in this paper only the bounce disturbance is considered and the passive mount is modeled as a linear energy dissipating element with stiffness and damping along the vertical direction.…”
