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.

Energizer BLUE Vibration Exciter for Buzz, Squeak & Rattle (BSR) Testing
Energizer Blue Vibration Exciter
The Energizer BLUE Series is part of a family of extremely quiet vibration exciters. The Series is ideally suited for the support of subjective and objective BSR evaluations according to industry test specifications, such as GMW14011, GM7293TP, BMW PR311-2 or PSA “Specification bruit parasites”, as well as several Hyundai Engineering Standards. With availability in four unique models and sizes, the Energizer Series is expressly designed to support such evaluations, while reducing the risks of measurement uncertainty caused by unwanted vibration exciter noise occurring within the BSR test environment.

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:
