Modeling

Simulate the multi-axial loading ofreal-world service environments toassess the durability of components andsubsystems such as cooling systems,
engine mounts, seats, instrument panels
and interior trim. Random loading can be
employed to accelerate durability testingfor components that do not requirepreservation of multi-axial phasing. Cycle
or block cycle loading can be employed toaccelerate durability tests of very simple
components such as brackets.

Obtain true, accelerated simulation of theproving ground or service environment in acontrolled and repeatable test laboratory,
using patented MTS mechanical designs
and proprietary software.

Using the MTS Virtual MAST system,
integrate state-of-the-art analyticalmodeling techniques to predict
performance with confirmatory
physical testing. This accelerates design
optimization and minimizes the numberof required prototypes.

Noise & Vibration

Perform detailed studies of nonlinear
phenomena (squeaks and rattles) withexceptional accuracy and repeatability.
MTS MAST systems are ideal for accuratesqueak-and-rattle testing of door panels,
instrument panels, seats, sunroofs andother subassemblies.

Modal Evaluation

force inputs for empirical modal evaluation.
Force inputs can be swept sine or random
excitations. MTS software can be used fordata acquisition, frequency content analysis
and modal deformation plots.

Special Applications

MTS MAST systems also have broad utility
beyond the ground vehicle industry. For
example, they have been used to conduct
seismic readiness tests on nonstructuralequipment such as generators and HVAC
systems to meet a growing array of

A Diverse Family of Turnkey Solutions

The MTS MAST family comprises a diverse selection of both hexapod andorthogonal designs to address a full spectrum of simulation requirements across awide range of test article types and geometries.

Advanced, High-frequency Hexapod Systems

Model 353.10, 353.20 and 354.20 hexapod
MAST systems deliver superior service
environment replication and model
correlation at frequencies up to 500, 150
and 100 Hz, respectively. The uniquehexapod design enables intuitively
controlled excitation at high frequencies
through the repeatable and simultaneous
application of force and motion in all six
degrees of freedom (DOF). This resultsin accurate simulations of difficult-tocharacterize service environments throughthe inclusion of key high-frequency content
and the excitation of critical nonlinear
response effects.

6

Meticulously engineered to be very stiff,
MTS hexapod systems deliver stable,
coherent response at high frequencies,
offering outstanding potential fordurability and noise, vibration andharshness (NVH) testing of groundvehicle and aerospace components andsubassemblies. Low noise levels andreduced sound energy radiation are also
ideal for squeak and rattle applications.
Typical test items include seats, radiators,
instrument panels and HVAC subsystems
as well as large automotive components.

MTS MAST hexapod platforms are driven
by six servohydraulic actuators. An
inverted, seal-less actuator design andhydrostatic bearings provide an ultrastiff, low-friction configuration thatenhances control and extends system
life. Actuators are joined to the table bypatented high-frequency swivel andstrut assemblies. Platform position isdetermined by advanced digital servocontrols, using feedback from displacement
and acceleration sensors. Close-coupledaccumulation maximizes frequency
response.

Versatile, Cost-effective Orthogonal Systems

Model 323 orthogonal MAST systems
are specifically designed for multi-axial
simulation testing of components andsubassemblies used in automotive andaerospace vehicles. Engineered to deliver
the rigidity, durability and performancerequired for severe test applications, theyalso feature a lightweight design with stiff,
resonance-free tables and exceptionallyprecise control. These cost-effective systems
are ideal for simulations that require theapplication of larger angular displacements
and higher linear velocities at frequencies
up to 50 Hz.

Model 323 systems include a stiff,
resonance-free vibration table that supports
the test specimen, plus longitudinal,
lateral and vertical actuators. The standard
configuration provides either four
degree-of-freedom (4DOF) or six
degree-of-freedom (6DOF) motion for
the table and test specimen, dependingon your specific application needs. To
accomplish this, the system uses threevertical actuators that provide vertical(heave), pitch, and roll motions, plus
three horizontal actuators that provide
lateral, yaw, and longitudinal motions.

Advanced Custom Solutions

MTS often applies its advanced multi-axial simulation technology and expertise tomeet unique mechanical testing challenges with one-of-a kind custom solutions.

Driving Simulation

Sophisticated MTS Driving Simulators areused to replicate the forces and motionsof a maneuvering vehicle to study vehicle
safety systems, road and highway designs,
and driver behavior. The simulator
features a turntable version of a 6DOF
hexapod MAST driven by a custom
motion control system. Large enough toaccommodate a full-vehicle specimen,
the turntable is encased in a large dome
measuring 4.5 by 7.15 meters. The dome
itself is placed on an X-Y track that allows
it to move 35 meters forward or backward,
and 20 meters side to side. The dome has
a maximum tilt angle of 25°, while theturntable has a turning radius of 330° toreproduce the forces experienced during
driving maneuvers.

Exhaust System Durability Testing

Engineered to reproduce the operating
environment of a vehicle exhaust system,
MTS’ exhaust test solution simulates all
six degrees of chassis motion at frequencies
up to 50 Hz, with an additional actuatorthat drives torque wind-up to the engine.
An engine motion simulator can also be
integrated to add six degrees of engine
motion input to the exhaust system forcases where an actual engine is not available.

Ride Comfort Assessment

In response to industry demands for moreadvanced ride comfort analysis capabilities,
MTS produced a custom human-rated
MAST system for gaining subjective
feedback to replicated automobile ride
dynamics. Featuring a 6DOF hexapod
MAST capable of 100 Hz operation, thissystem integrates Human-in-the-Loopmeasurement and control capabilities, aswell as the tools necessary to measureand make objective development decisions.

Rolling Road Aerodynamics Testing
Systems with Model Motion

MTS Rolling Road Systems are used toenhance the quality of data collectedfrom wind tunnel testing programs by
accurately simulating ground effectconditions under the test vehicles andaround rotating wheels. To achieve true
dynamic realism with these systems,
MTS developed an advanced Model
Motion System capable of applying force
and motion in multiple degrees-offreedom to the vehicle models during
aerodynamic simulations. This motion
system features a tightly integrated hexapod
motion platform, wheel motion system,
internal model balance and sophisticateddigital controls.

Rugged, High-performance MTS Technology

Based on durable designs that have been fine-tuned continually for more than three
decades, MTS MAST systems offer the ideal balance between performance and total
investment. Unlike tables intended for driving and flight simulation, these systems areengineered to withstand the higher payloads, forces and accelerations of even the mostdemanding durability testing.
MTS designs, develops and integrates all elements of its MAST systems in-house, including:tables, actuators and swivels; hydraulic power and distribution systems; and controls andsoftware. This level of control ensures optimal system quality, reliability and performance;
higher-fidelity simulations; and more meaningful results. All MTS MAST systems
incorporate minimal-mass actuators and zero-backlash bearings, essential for accurate
replication of real-world forces and modal response recreation.

Tables

MTS MAST systems feature lightweighttables with hollow cores and webbed
construction that exhibit high stiffnessto-mass ratios; this maximizes payload
capacity while ensuring that any table
resonance falls outside of the test frequency
range. MTS manufactures these tables ina variety of geometries and sizes.

Round and square MAST tables in various steps of production

Actuators

MTS MAST systems employ double-ended
hydraulic actuators, specially engineered
to minimize moving mass and maximize
performance under the most demanding
simulation conditions. A linear variable
differential transformer (LVDT) insideeach actuator generates an electrical
feedback signal proportional to theactuator’s position. For some applications,accelerometers are mounted near actuator/
table attachment points (or the differential
hydraulic pressure across the actuator ismeasured) to send stabilization feedback
to the control system when testing large
payloads. Additionally, actuator pistonrods are oversized to increase lateral
stiffness, avoid bending resonances andprovide ample overload protection.

Durable, maintenance-free swivels feature low-friction
zero-backlash bearings

Swivels

MTS swivels are designed with a high tilt
angle to accommodate large roll and pitch
angles frequently required for MAST
testing. High stiffness and minimized
mass enable higher performance and an
extended frequency operating range.
MTS Swivels are oversized to provide
additional overload protection, andspecial bearings provide for long life withminimal friction and zero backlash. They
are designed to function across a wide
range of temperatures and are virtually
maintenance free.

Integrated ISM (Model 353.20 only)

Isolation Service Manifolds (ISMs)

Safe and trouble-free operation is a key MAST
system requirement. Additionally, isolation service
manifolds are required to meet regional European
Norm (EN) machinery safety standards, including EN
13121, EN 13849-1, and EN ISO 4413. To fully meetthese needs, MTS offers specially designed standalone
and integrated (Model 353.20) ISMs to work with its
MAST test solutions. These manifolds enable precise
control of the hydraulic fluid flow through a MAST
system during power on, power off and in the eventof a system problem or E-stop, to help ensure the safetyof test lab personnel and equipment.

Standalone ISM

Quiet, high-efficiency hydraulics

Reliable SilentFlo™ hydraulic power units(HPUs) provide clean and quiet operationand can be placed directly adjacent to test
systems. Integrated water or air coolingsystems offer even more location flexibility.
MTS hydraulic service manifolds (HSM)
filter and distribute fluid to actuators.
The HSM provides on/off and low/highhydraulic pressure control and emergencypressure “dump” control. Hydraulicaccumulators on the pressure and returnlines minimize fluctuations in hydraulicfluid pressure. To protect the test specimen
and test system, cross port relief valves on
the HSM prevent hydraulic over-pressureduring high inertial acceleration or
deceleration events.

1. All linear and angular translation, velocity and acceleration values are based on single
degree of freedom table movement about, or from the table-top center.

323.202. All velocity and acceleration values are peak levels. Indicated levels of performance
are not achievable throughout the simulation frequency range.
3. Maximum performance is only achievable when payload is mounted wholly within 1mradius (in X-Y plane) of the table center. Stated performance cannot be realized withall specimens as it is dependent on specimen modes and attachment to the table.
4. Assumes solid steel test payload rigidly mounted above the table-top center
5. 323 systems also available with 5 x 6 ft table
6. Table Mounting Hole Sizes:» 353.10 = M10 x 1.5» 353.20 = M12 x 1.75
» 354.20 = M12 x 1.75
» 323.X = M12 x 1.75 or ½-13
7. Translational, not simultaneous
