Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a new dynamic force calibration system, which addresses uncertainty problems. Dynamic force calibration aims to address the need for accurate measurements of rapidly changing forces by directly calibrating force transducer systems under dynamic conditions. Measured time-varying forces are applied and measurements are made of the time-varying transducer output. NIST has developed a new dynamic force calibration system to perform such calibration with sinusoidal forces up to two kilonewtons in amplitude and up to two kilohertz in frequency.
