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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 – ...
