DUAL MAST SYSTEM FOR SIMULATION TESTING

摘要

A simulation testing system and method for testing an automobile system or component(s) such as an exhaust system (14) comprises first and second multi - axis simulation tables. One part of the exhaust system is supported by one o f the tables with another part being supported by the other table. Each table includes hydraulic actuators (8) capable of imparting motion to the tables i n a number of directions. The tables are independent from each other so that t he motion imparted to one table can be distinct and separately controlled from that motion imparted to the other table. By arranging the tables so that the motions can vary between the two tables, more realistic simulation testing c an be performed on the system or component being tested.
