contents The calibration technique for accelerometers has been internationally developed for up to 20 kHz to ensure the reliability of vibration measurement. However, it has been established that the calibrated sensitivity changes at over 10 kHz depending on the mounting conditions, and this makes it difficult to accurately measure the characteristics of accelerometers and degrades the accuracy of high-frequency vibration measurements. Thus, in this study, we developed a reversed-calibration method for measuring the intrinsic sensitivity of an accelerometer without the influence of the mounting conditions. Through demonstration experiment, the intrinsic resonance structure of the accelerometer at approximately 45.8 kHz was adequately determined. Furthermore, the result was independently confirmed by fitting the conventional adapter-calibration results up to 100 kHz with four different materials based on the dynamic three-body model. Concurrently, the material dependency observed during adapter calibration was quantitatively analyzed, after which its relationship with the Young's modulus was extracted. Overall, these results deepen our understanding of the performance of the accelerometer at above 10 kHz, which is essential in vibration metrology and accelerometer development.
