Accelerometer Shock Sensitivity Calibration Using a Pneumatic Exciter
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system for the measurement of accelerometer shock sensitivity is described, complying with the requirements of comparison calibration per ISO 16063-22 “Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers Part 22: Shock calibration by comparison to a reference transducer”. This system is comprised of a newly designed exciter, a new back-to-back comparison standard with integral charge convertor, and new software. The design features are described which result in improvements over previous similar systems, including averaging of multiple shocks in linearity measurements, quieter operation, more durable components, and greater range of input levels.

Design and Production of a Pneumatic Moving Exciter for Determination of Vibration Behavior of Structures in Variable Frequencies
Determination and analysis of vibration behavior of structures for at least first few natural frequencies and mode shapes needs several sensors to be connected at different non node points and exciting the structure at one point. Other method for determination of first few mode shapes is to excite several points of the structure at once and sensing the response from one point. Both methods nee...
متن کاملA New Solution for Shock and Vibration Calibration of Accelerometers
Shock and vibration phenomena are present around us in everything that moves. The accelerometer is a class of instruments commonly used to measure that motion, producing an electrical output signal related to the applied motion. Accurate accelerometer calibration is a way to provide physical meaning to this electrical output and it is a prerequisite for quality motion measurements. Systems and ...

Primary and/or comparison calibration systems for angular vibration pickups can not be realised without the angular vibration exciter and the precision angular accelerometer suitable for the transfer standard. Recent attempts made to tackle these technical challenges and related achievements ...
متن کاملThe Need for Controlled Shocks - a New Type of Shock Exciter Allows to Apply Well Defined Mechanical Shocks
Shock exciters available on the market today suffer from a lack of control of the generated shocks. This paper will present a new type of shock exciter developed by SPEKTRA which is based on the well known HopkinsonBar but using a piezoelectric actuator to apply the force pulse input (* patent pending, [1]). It will be shown that a piezoelectric actuator driven Hopkinson-Bar generates well defi...
