Natural Frequency 101

Natural Frequency 101

Interface Natural Frequency 101 defines the inherent rate at which a sensor oscillates when allowed to vibrate freely. Learn how natural frequency and deflection affect dynamic force measurement, how to avoid resonance, and engineering tips for optimizing load cell accuracy. Natural frequency serves as the definitive boundary for the bandwidth of a force measurement system and for structural integrity. Accurate data acquisition from load cells relies on maintaining a clear separation between the application's operational frequency and the resonant frequency of the physical test loop.
Dead Live Total Loads Civil Engineering

How Load Cells Reveal Dead, Live, and Total Loads in Civil Engineering

Interface load cells are used to measure dead load, live load, and total load for civil engineers and architects to validate structures, long-term stability, and proven infrastructure performance under harsh environmental conditions. Interface force measurement sensors and supporting technologies are common in foundation tests, material fatigue testing, environmental tests and structural verifications.
Hysteresis 101

Hysteresis 101

Interface defines hysteresis as the algebraic difference between the load cell's output at a specific load when approached from an increasing direction versus a decreasing direction. Hysteresis represents a physical limit of the sensor's design. Hysteresis is typically expressed as a percentage of Full Scale (%FS) on a sensor's data sheet or calibration certificate. Learn more about this vital characteristic in Interface's Hysteresis 101.
