TY - CONF A1 - Bartholmai, Matthias A1 - Werner, Klaus-Dieter A1 - Kammermeier, Michael T1 - Hopkinson bar method for temperature dependent testing and calibration of accelerometers T2 - 31st Danubia-Adria Symposium on advances in experimental mechanics (Proceedings) N2 - The measurement characteristics of every conventional accelerometer are temperature dependent - often to an extent which is highly relevant for the addressed application. For instance, at BAM Container drop tests are performed to investigate and evaluate the structural integrity of Containers for transport and storage of dangerous goods. Often, the test program includes drop tests at specific temperatures, also as part of approval procedures. The applied sensors are exposed to these test conditions and get influenced by them. Acceleration sensors show a considerable temperature influence on their fünction and characteristics. Particularly the damping mechanism of the seismic mass is a critical part. In regard to such applications, capable equipment and methods are required to consider and investigate this aspect in an adequate way. A fortiori as Manufacturer’s infonnation often is deficient. This study presents the setup and results of a method for testing and calibration of acceleration sensors under high dynamic irnpact. It combines a Hopkinson Bar with a temperature chamber.
