Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

This article discusses how to improve tilt measurement accuracy using an accelerometer like a combo part. Electric park brakes (EPBs) are used on passenger vehicles to hold the vehicle stationary on ...

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

Also known as inertial sensors, accelerometers are critical elements in key applications such as automotive air-bag deployment, smartphone motion tracking, and industrial predictive maintenance. These ...
