    Abstract

    In the dynamic calibration of force transducers using sweptsine excitation, the sensitivity (the output voltage divided by the applied force) of the transducer can start to decrease (or roll-off) at higher frequencies. It has been proposed that this roll-off originates from the finite stiffness and dissipation of the transducer. In other words, the roll-off is caused by a mechanical frequency response of the transducer, and the sensitivity is proportional to this frequency response function via a constant. The focus of this study is the origin of the observed roll-off in sensitivity. The findings of this study have application to the dynamic calibration and use of force transducers.
