Abstract: We design a set of wave simulation calibration system based on the principle of gravity acceleration wave sensor.Its parameters are adjustable forwave height of 0.5 ~ 9 m, and cycle of 2 ~ 40 s.We mount a wave sensor on a circular truss of uniform rotation based on sine wave theory.The trajectory of the wave sensor can be considered as a sine wave, which is simulated the calibration.Its control system controls rotational radius of the wave sensor and the rotational cycle of the truss in order to achieve the simulation and calibration for wave height and wave period.We eventually employ finite element analysis for truss overall structural strength and stiffness.We also analyze its calibration precision, and acquire the wave height accuracy of ± 2 mm and wave cycle accuracy of ± 0.1 s.The results satisfy the requirement of design and operation.

Key words: truss, wave, simulation and calibration, ANSYS
