MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

A 3-axis MEMS accelerometer, designed to deliver consistent and stable performance in portable applications, has been unveiled by STMicroelectronics. "The innovative architecture of our new ...

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 ...

One of the most difficult aspects of selecting an accelerometer for a particular application is interpreting the accelerometer’s specifications. Often you understand your test requirements well but ...

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 ...

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.

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 – ...

Knowing the characteristics of MEMS devices lets different labs compare them accurately. Accelerometers—devices that measure change in velocity—are built into automobiles, airplanes, cell phones, ...

Inertial navigation systems use information provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes to provide the position and orientation of an object relative to a predetermined origin point, orientation and ...
