Calibration Information Calibration Procedure: Basic Description: AXIAL CALIBRATION: The two load cells (Scopemeter, Dig Voltmeter, and RED LC) were placed on top of the UB#300kip reference load cell in the Tinius Olsen machine. The load cells were loaded several cycles to allow the gains of the amplifiers to be adjusted to match the calibrated reference. Scopemeter and Dig Voltmeter were calibrated to be used as normal force references 1 and 2 respectively. SHEAR CALIBRATION: The load cells were set up as shown in Figure 1, then loaded. The gain of the shear conditioner was adjusted such that the shear reading matched that of Dig Voltmeter. MOMENT CALIBRATION: The load cells were set up as shown in Figure 2, then loaded. The gain of the moment conditioner was adjusted such that the moment reading matched that of Dig Voltmeter times the distance from the loading point to moment strain gages. Distance from moment gages to: top = 0.000 in bottom = 0.000 in
