Angular acceleration sensors are attracting attention as sensors for monitoring rotational vibration. Many angular acceleration sensors have been developed; however, multiaxis measurement is still in a challenging stage. In this study, we propose a biaxial angular acceleration sensor with two uniaxial sensor units arranged orthogonally. The sensor units consist of two rotational-symmetric spiral channels and microelectromechanical system (MEMS) piezoresistive cantilevers. The cantilever is placed to interrupt the flow at the junctions of parallelly aligned spirals in each channel. When two cantilevers are used as the resistance of the bridge circuit in the two-gauge method, the rotational-symmetric spiral channels enhance the sensitivity in the target axis, while the nontarget axis sensitivities are canceled. The fabricated device responds with approximately constant sensitivity from 1 to 15 Hz, with a value of 3.86 × 10−5/(rad/s2), which is equal to the theoretical value. The nontarget axis sensitivity is approximately 1/400 of the target axis sensitivity. In addition, we demonstrate that each unit responds according to the tilt angle when the device is tilted along the two corresponding rotational axis planes. Thus, it is concluded that the developed device realizes biaxial angular acceleration measurement with low crosstalk.

On the basis of the acceleration measurement of high impact, a high-g acceleration sensors of the piezoresistive beam - island structure at four-terminal all fixed supported was designed. Its structure was analyzed. The reasonable structure parameters were chose. And the parameter simulation and modal analysis were completed with ANSYS software. The results show that the sensor can resist 200,000 g overload and meet high impact test requirements.

In this paper, active vibration control concept using the existing pump control system based on the multi-frequency two-weight notch LMS (Least Mean Square) filter was investigated and tested experimentally. This research also includes the direct swash plate acceleration measurement, the case acceleration measurement, and the simultaneous multi-position microphone measurement in the semi-anechoic chamber. A 75 cc/rev swash plate type axial pump was modified to implement swash plate active vibration control combining a high speed direct drive servovalve, an electronic swash plate angle sensor, a swash plate acceleration sensor, and a high speed real-time controller with the NI Labview FPGA. Vibration measurements utilizing a tri-axial swash plate acceleration sensor and two tri-axial case acceleration sensors, and noise measurements using three microphones were conducted in the semi-anechoic chamber to investigate the influence and effectiveness of the developed system and the proposed swash plate active vibration control.

With the rapid development of MEMS technology, MEMS acceleration sensors have been used more and more widely due to their unique advantages. Taking MEMS acceleration sensor as the core device, a measurement memory system was designed. The system mainly included acceleration detection module, acceleration memory module and control display module, which could realize real-time acceleration measurement and memory, and uploaded the stored data to the computer. Using the vibration test to detect the performance of the system, the result showed that the  system could achieve the desired effect, and could realize real-time acceleration measurement and memory within the allowable  error range. It could still work normally under the condition of the maximum overload of at least 100g, which possessed strong resistance to high overload capacity

The advancement of hardware and software technologies makes it possible to use smartphones or Internet of things for monitoring environments in realtime. In recent years, much effort has been made to develop a smartphone based earthquake early warning system, where low-cost acceleration sensors inside a smartphones are used for capturing earthquake signals. However, because a smartphone comes with a powerful CPU, spacious memory, and several sensors, it is waste of such resources to use it only for detecting earthquakes. Furthermore, because a smartphone is mostly in use during the daytime, the acquired data cannot be used for detecting earthquakes due to human activities. Therefore, in this article, we introduce a stand-alone device equipped with a low-cost acceleration sensor and least computing resources to detect earthquakes. To that end, we first select an appropriate acceleration sensor by assessing the performance and accuracy of four different sensors. Then, we design and develop an earthquake alert device. To detect earthquakes, we employ a simple machine learning technique which trains an earthquake detection model with daily motions, noise data recorded in buildings, and earthquakes recorded in the past. Furthermore, we evaluate the four acceleration sensors by recording two realistic earthquakes on a shake-table. In the experiments, the results show that the developed earthquake alert device can successfully detect earthquakes and send a warning message to nearby devices, thereby enabling proactive responses to earthquakes.

It is a challenging problem to test the acceleration of the high-speed missiles and space shuttle under high temperature. This paper proposed a design of LC-resonant and high-temperature resistant acceleration sensors about the phenomenon. With the operational amplifier OP4177, it produces the input signal that contents with A/D (Analog to Digital) signal. An eight level low-pass filter MAX291 is used for testing after the signal is regulated. This design mainly uses AD7934 to complete the conversion from analog signals to digital signals. It also recognizes the resonant point of LC acceleration sensor by the DSP (Digital Signal Processing)recognizing program. The acceleration is computed finally by the DSP chip.
