Material Compatibility Test System (MCTS)
Automotive squeaks occur when materials in contact rub against one another causing annoying noises from friction-induced stick-slips. Automotive itches are a special category of squeaks that can develop when rubber or plastic rubs against glass or paint. The MB Dynamics Material Compatibility Squeak & Itch Test System (MCTS) is designed and manufactured to subject contacting pairs of materials and actual vehicle parts to precisely controlled interference & motion under in-vehicle environmental conditions in order to acquire, monitor, analyze and report friction and acoustic characteristics with the objective to:

Squeak & Rattle Sub-System And Component Testing
At MB Dynamics, we’re proud to provide clients in a wide range of industries with quiet, custom turnkey component testing systems for combined squeak & rattle testing as well as durability testing of different components and subsystems (in 1 to 6 DOF). Test items can be excited in one or more axes to understand and characterize the physics and root causes of BSRs. Real-world, on-road vibration conditions are multi-axis simultaneous – vertical, fore-aft or longitudinal, lateral, roll, pitch, and yaw – 6 degrees of freedom or 6 DOF. Affordability drives decisions to find BSRs by exciting in one or two – fewer than 6 DOF. That has been a driving force for MB – be effective at finding BSRs with a lesser number of shakers (DOFs) and thus reduce the test equipment cost of finding BSRs. Vertical-only can be effective; sequential vertical then fore-aft then lateral is one step closer to real-world; creating vibration in four or five axes of response simultaneously is even closer; and full 6 DOF systems that are quiet come closest to duplicating in the lab the on-road conditions. MB offers all these possibilities to meet trade-offs of budget, test time, road replication, and BSR detection effectiveness.

MB BSR Suite
MB BSR SUITE is the complete solution for all measurement tasks in the field of NVH, Squeak & Rattle and Sound Quality testing. Comprehensive analysis and assessment capabilities also enable the use of the BSR Suite for analysis and evaluation of functional and operating noise, vibrational effects on humans as well as the acoustic and haptic feedback of controls and actuators. Predefined test configurations for typical tasks such as multi-channel road load data acquisition, drive-file generation and objective Squeak & Rattle and Sound Quality testing allow for fast and simple operation. Signal statistics and user defined thresholds or reference-curves can be used for objective evaluation of different acoustic or haptic quality criteria.

Modal Exciters & Amplifiers
Experimental modal analysis, or modal testing, is a process for physically obtaining a math model of a structure’s dynamic properties. Modal tests identify a structure’s modal properties: natural frequencies, mode shapes, mass, stiffness and damping. Modal test results help troubleshoot resonant excitation from operating forces, validate and verify finite element models, predict the benefits of structural modifications, support design verification, and understand structural responses due to complex loading conditions.
