Preparing the AUET/MTM for Use The AUET/MTM testers feature a supplied Joint  Simulation  Kit (Fig.  A) that  is configurable to a variety of joint conditions.   Fig. A 
  The  Joint Kit is  made  up  of  a  series  of Belleville Washers that allow the user to pre-configure the joint to match the actual application  joint  as  closely  as  possible. Each  of  the Belleville  Washers is concave  in  shape. By  aligning  all  the concave  curves  in  the  same  direction a simulated hard joint is...
