To all interested parties:
Acceleration fundementals defined:
Accelerometers measure acceleration, vibration, and shock. An accelerometer
involves the mounting of a seismic mass attached to a damper and a spring inside a
solid casing. The movement of the mass inside the casing is proportional to the
force of acceleration on the device. Many accelerometers use either a capacitive
or piezoelectric sensor to measure the position of the mass. Accelerometers are
specified by the range, frequency response, and the sensitivity of the device.
-- Acceleration, vibration, and shock:
1. output units, mV/g
2. seismic mass, damper, and spring
3. second derivative of displacement
4. capacitive (AC excitation)
5. piezoelectric (charge amplifiers)
-- Range, frequency response, sensitivity
