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

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 ...

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 ...

Is it time to think outside the box or just give it a shake? Movement- or gesture-oriented input isn’t new. Try shaking a cell phone like Apple’s iPhone. Matched with the right application, like a ...

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 ...
