In this study, the effects of the waiting time in the force steps on the calibration results during the calibration of force measuring devices was investigated. For measurements, strain gauge force measuring device and piezoelectric force measuring device were selected. Both force transducers are calibrated to the ISO 376 standard. The waiting times in force steps during calibration were taken as 1 s, 10 s and 60 s. The effects on the results obtained at different waiting times was investigated. Changes in results for both sensors were examined.

“…For measuring microforce in diversified fields from biological research to material sciences, an atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever is a widely used tool [ 12 , 13 ]. Similarly to other deflection methods [ 14 , 15 ], an atomic force microscope cantilever estimates the force from the deflection of the cantilever. In these systems, for measuring small forces with higher resolution, the stiffness should be sufficiently low.…”

The principle of a zero-compliance mechanism was used to develop a three-dimensional force measurement instrument. In each axis, the point of force is suspended by a zero-compliance mechanism. A vertical axis force estimation operation imitates the structure of a double series magnetic suspension system. An electromagnet directly controls the movement of the first suspended object (floator), which is denoted as a detection point, and indirectly controls the motion of the second floator, which is denoted as a point of force. Indirect control of the point of force is executed by the attractive force of a permanent magnet that is fixed to the bottom part of the detection point. To achieve zero-compliance, a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is applied to the point of force, and to make the system stable, a Proportional-Derivative (PD) control is also applied to the detection point. In such suspension conditions, when force is exerted on the point of force, the displacement of the second floator is regulated to maintain its primary position while the detection point displaces in proportion to the applied force. Thus, a zero-compliance condition is maintained at the point of force, and the external force is measured from the linear displacement of the detection point. To restrict the motions of the detection point and the point of force in translation only, they are supported with leaf springs. This paper presents the modeling of the vertical direction force measurement operation of the developed three-axis force estimation instrument, and the theoretical analyses were validated by experiments of force measurement in both the millinewton and micronewton ranges.

“…In recent years, large transport aircrafts have rapidly developed, improving the conditions for heavy-equipment airdrops and increasing the demands on the airdrop system [1][2][3]. The heavy-equipment airdrop system is mainly used by large-and medium-sized transport aircrafts in delivering heavy weapons, equipment, emergency supplies, and other goods to the designated area to support land and naval operations or disaster relief work [4,5].…”

Heavy-equipment airdrops are mainly used to deliver relief supplies and heavy weapons. Given the heavy weight of the goods, the tension of the extraction and brake ropes of the parachute significantly affects the safety of the aircraft. On the basis of the measurement and installation characteristics of the parachute rope, this study designed the structure of a nondestructive pressure-type parachute rope tension sensor and set the location of the strain gauge patch using the ANSYS simulation software to obtain a high sensor sensitivity. The temperature error of the tension sensor is compensated, and the precision is improved using the LSSVM-PSO (Least Squares Support Vector Machine-Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm. The developed tension sensor is applied to the extraction parachute test system to measure the traction of 2 and 8 m2 parachutes. Test results show that the maximum weight of the platform these two parachutes can draw and the effect of parachute opening can be calculated.
