The traceability to SI units is realized through well-known mass characteristics and a reference shock accelerometer attached to that mass. Two approaches are proposed to analyse dynamic force employing a drop mass system. One approach depends on the inertial force of a falling mass while the other deals with the work-energy principle. Results of both approaches are then compared to the response of a statically calibrated force transducer. It is shown that the obtained maximum relative deviations between the response of force transducer and the first approach results are 1% while those of the second approach are 2%.}, type={Article}, title={An investigation on using the falling mass technique for dynamic force calibrations}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/120616/art03_i.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mms.2021.137127}, keywords={calibration, dynamic calibration, impact force, falling weight}, }
