VEHICLE TEST ENGINEERING & INSTRUMENTATION

The development and modification of today's fastest vehicles often necessitates extensive testing and analysis.

Structural, functional, operational, and performance surveys are one of United Test’s cornerstone  capabilities. Extensive experience with end-to-end test instrumentation, allows us to provide solutions and support to effectively execute a test program. Efficiencies gained from our vast experience can guide the test approach, test planning, and data system integration and analysis. 

Look to us for help in solving tough problems involving:

  • Structural loads data and analysis (stress, vibration, fatigue)
  • Experimental Modal Analysis
  • Pressure Rakes and CFD
  • Handling Qualities Evaluation and Analysis
  • Model validation and simulations
  • Asynchronous measurement requirements
  • Test Facilites Design and Fabrication
  • High-Speed Video
  • Data Telemetry

EXPERIENCE THAT COUNTS

United Test personnel have supported numerous test programs, and have personally been involved in motorsports at all levels. We are all "gear-heads" down here...

  • IMSA / LeMans
  • NASCAR
  • Grass-Roots Motorsports at all levels

LAB & GROUND TESTING

United Test can perform environmental simulation tests tailored to customer requirements and produce independent reports that are NIST and ISO9001 traceable and compliant. Our many years of experience in environmental simulation make us the perfect choice to support your research and development team. We can offer independent quality testing services, which will enable you to draw reliable conclusions on the service life, functionality and reliability of your products.

Some of our quality services, include:

  • Fixed powertrain test beds, or PSTBs (Power Systems Test Bed)
  • Vibration “shake” test
  • Shock testing
  • Pyroshock (shock response spectrum – SRS)
  • Centrifuge testing
  • Drop tests
  • Climatic chambers
  • Wind Tunnels

 

Understanding thermal loading in controlled conditions, can get a long way towards a final design for on-vehicle testing.
