Abstract The dynamic force correction of the fatigue testing machine is related to the position of load cell,the mass,stiffness and their distribution of the vibration system. An approximate correction formula is given by the analysis of the dynamic forces to the fatigue testing machines of load cell mounted in two different positions.A view point is proposed, it is that the static calibration is more reasonable than dynamic calibration in fatigue testing machine test by analysis of the mass distribution of the dynamic forces part of the vibration system,combined with experimental force data using dynamic and static calibration method while frequencies below 1000Hz.
