Helping vehicle manufacturers stay ahead of the curve

Global standards for emissions, fuel efficiency and safety mandates are evolving. New materials are reshaping design possibilities. And vehicles continue to become more complex. To address these and other trends more efficiently — with smaller teams, fewer prototypes and lower costs — vehicle developers worldwide rely on MTS for mechanical testing expertise, technology and support.

Advanced simulation

Pushing the boundaries of simulation technology allows vehicle manufacturers to make unprecedented improvements in the speed and efficiency of development, reducing both costs and time to market. To accelerate these gains, MTS continues to explore new ways of integrating physical components and virtual models to enhance objective analysis and testing.

MTS has developed two techniques to meet this challenge. Mechanical Hardware-in-the-Loop (mHIL) employs a real-time, closed loop process to substitute real parts for difficult-to-model components within a virtual simulation, such as using actual vehicle dampers as part of a virtual handling simulation. Hybrid System Response Convergence (HSRC) employs an offline, iterative process to generate accurate test loads by surrounding physical test parts with virtual components and generic inputs, such as virtual tires and digital roads as part of a full-vehicle durability test.

Emissions testing

Around the world, emerging mandates are establishing aggressive emissions targets for new passenger vehicles, light-commercial vehicles and light trucks. With rewards for success and penalties for failure, manufacturers are building more effective fleet emissions reduction programs, an essential component of which is mechanical testing.

MTS Flat-Trac® roadway technology will play a crucial role as this trend evolves, bringing precision to lab-based emissions testing. It offers an ideal alternative to conventional roller dynos for measuring vehicle rolling loss, providing the vehicle-to-road interface accuracy needed to discern extremely fine changes in rolling loss from one design iteration to the next. Flat-Trac technology is also far more accommodating of high-throughput testing requirements.

Electric actuation

Automotive manufacturers, suppliers and contract test labs are all under pressure to deliver accurate results more rapidly. At the same time, there is strong demand for higher energy efficiency at every stage in the development cycle. Where these trends converge is in electric actuation. MTS continues to integrate electric actuation throughout our portfolio, from the rotary electric actuation of MTS tire rolling resistance and tread wear systems to the linear electric actuation technology in MTS Criterion® and MTS Acumen® test systems, to the patented electromagnetic actuation (EMA) of MTS Roehrig EMA systems for single-axis damper characterization and in-line production quality testing.
