Standard Finite Element (FE) models, especially those that incorporate multiple physical domains, consist of detailed representations of a device that include a large number of Degrees of Freedom (DoF ...

Freescale Semiconductor Inc. today will unveil the thinnest three-axis accelerometer devised to date at the Sensors Expo & Conference in Chicago. By slimming down the microelectromechanical-system ...

LONDON — Motion sensing, largely enabled by Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometers, has taken more than its usual share of the headlines recently. Whilst not a rags to riches tale – ...

Awide variety of accelerometers has been developed for measuring vibration, shock, and inertial motion. To reduce risk and ensure that meaningful and accurate data is collected, you must understand ...

X-Fab, the mixed signal foundry, is offering design IP blocks for accelerometers. The IP blocks were developed MicroMountains Applications and HSG-IMIT (Institute for Microtechnology and Information ...

Piezoresistive accelerometers utilise the intrinsic property of certain materials to alter their electrical resistance when subjected to mechanical strain. This phenomenon is harnessed within ...

Anyone who has performed vibration tests is familiar with accelerometers, which are positioned on the EUT to measure the acceleration relative to the shaker and, most importantly, to find resonances.

Accelerometers — devices for measuring acceleration — have a wide range of applications: from navigation systems in aviation and astronautics to measurements of seismic activity and medical ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIST) have developed a new type of accelerometer based on lasers and optomechanical principles rather than the traditional mechanical strain gauges ...

“BUILD A BETTER accelerometer and the world will make a beaten path to your door.” Not, perhaps, as snappy as Ralph Waldo Emerson’s original aphorism about a mousetrap. But it is the hope of Graeme ...

Series 3741 MEMS high-sensitivity dcresponse accelerometers can handle various crash-sled acceleration profiles with full-scale ranges from 2 to 20 g, up to 2-kHz measurement capability, and ...
