Calibration of Shock and Vibration Measuring Transducers

Abstract

Abstract : This book is an authoritative reference on the calibration procedures used in both primary and secondary calibration laboratories. Contains well- established basic calibration methods, describes transducer, force gage, and impedance head characteristics to the limited extent necessary to aid in performing accurate calibrations. The use and interpretation of results and a detailed description of errors are given. Primary and secondary standards, reciprocity and comparison methods are discussed. Describes the use of calibration shakers and shock motion calibrations. All necessary basic equations are developed.
