Recent methods for the analysis of shock calibration measurements of acceleration transducers are presented. The methods are based on modelling the transducers’ dynamic behaviour. The techniques required for the identification of the model parameters are described including the determination of associated uncertainties. Applications of these procedures to shock calibration measurements of force transducers are discussed and illustrated by the analysis of measurements performed at the impact force calibration device of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt.
