Variable Force Generator for Dynamic Calibration of Piezoelectric Transducers

• Abstract:

  Currently the calibration of dynamic load transducers is not a well resolved problem, due to the difficulty in developing a device, which gives precise dynamic force.
  There are three lines of research to achieve this capacity: impact, stepped and sinusoidal forces. All of which have the same fundamentals: generation of an inertial force, which is produced by a mass and its acceleration.
  At this conference, we wish to show a new line of research to produce a dynamic force based on a gyroscopic device. We have developed and tested a new device based on gyroscopic effect with the aim to calibrate piezoelectric transducers.
