Improvements in Accelerometer Calibration at NIST Using Digital Vibrometry

April 29, 2017
Author(s)
Beverly F. Payne, Richard A. Allen, Colleen E. Hood
Improvements in shaker design and laser vibrometer development has provided more precise calibration of accelerometers. Calibrations are performed at frequencies from 1Hz to 20 kHz with improved uncertainty and improved efficiency. The vibrometer mounting

Primary Calibration of Accelerometers by Optical Methods, NIST and USAF

April 1, 2011
Author(s)
Beverly F. Payne, Jerry Steffen
This paper describes ongoing efforts to provide high quality calibration of accelerometers by NIST for military and civilian labs. Traditionally the approach is the calibration of reference accelerometers by NIST for labs requiring calibrations with the

Piezoelectric Shaker Development for High Frequency Calibration of Accelerometers

June 22, 2010
Author(s)
Beverly F. Payne, Gregory W. Vogl, Kari K. Harper
Calibration of vibration transducers requires sinusoidal motion over a wide frequency range with low distortion and low cross-axial motion. Piezoelectric shakers are well suited to generate such motion and are suitable for use with laser interferometric

Single Point Optical Calibration of Accelerometers at NIST

June 21, 2006
Author(s)
Beverly F. Payne
Typical accelerometer calibrations by laser interferometer are performed by measuring displacement at three places on the shaker table. Each of these measurements made along the perimeter of the accelerometer require repositioning and realigning of the

Primary Calibration of Accelerometers at NIST Using a Dual Coil Shaker

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Beverly F. Payne, David J. Evans
Until recently, the primary calibration of accelerometers at NIST over a frequency range of 50 Hz to 5 kHz utilized three different shakers with separate measurement systems. With the development of the NIST supershaker and associated calibration system

Accelerometer Calibration at NBS/NIST, The Last Thirty Years.

November 22, 1997
Author(s)
Beverly F. Payne
This paper gives a short history of the development of the accelerometer calibration services at NBS/NIST from the mid-1950s to 1996. Many people were involved in the research and development that has led to the present calibration services. The references
