There are a number of ways to construct accelerometers, but the ones in the iPhone (and probably most other consumer-level equipment) specifically are MEMS accelerometers. As I understand it, a change ...

To sense shock, vibration, and/or linear motion, accelerometers are beginning to appear in a broad range of new applications. Common types of accelerometers for these applications�various ...

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 ...

With the advent of variable-capacitance (VC) accelerometers and the continued availability of piezoresistive (PR) transducers, engineers now have a wider choice for their measurement needs. But VC ...

Accelerometers are essential sensors used in a wide range of applications including shock and vibration testing, car safety systems, and today's hand-held consumer devices. Generally, they sense the ...
