Variable Force Generator for Dynamic Calibration of Piezoelectric Transducers

Juan Guerrero, Raúl Herranz
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.
Keywords:
calibration, piezoelectric force transducer, dynamic force, varying force and angular momentum
