Abstract:

Technology can provide safety in physical practices and improving the performance of these activities, so manufacturing of equipments for these purposes has been considered widely. The aim of the present paper was design and fabrication of three-axis accelerometer. hree acceleration sensors, three gyroscopes for angular velocity measurement, a microcontroller for converting analog data to digital, a semiconductor memory for storing the sampled data, a rechargeable battery and a spreadsheet in MATLAB environment have been used. In order to examine the validity of fabricated instrument, the earth gravity acceleration in three perpendicular axes have been measured and compared with 9.8m/S2. In order to examine the reliability of the fabricated accelerometer the ICC and test-re-test method have been used. The results showed that the accelerometer has both reliability and validity. Due to its special features, it enables us to sample in the offline mode and wireless manner. Such system may be used for

Design and Fabrication of a Differential Electrostatic Accelerometer for Space-Station Testing of the Equivalence Principle

The differential electrostatic space accelerometer is an equivalence principle (EP) experiment instrument proposed to operate onboard China's space station in the 2020s. It is designed to compare the spin-spin interaction between two rotating extended bodies and the Earth to a precision of 10(-12), which is five orders of magnitude better than terrestrial experiment results to date. To achieve ...

Design, fabrication, and testing of a meso-scale accelerometer made of spring steel

This paper reports a novel, low-cost, moderately sensitive, meso-scale accelerometer fabricated with spring steel foil and equipped with either a Hall Effect-based proximity sensor or a capacitive sensor. Since the sensitivity of a Hall Effect sensor is low, we attach a displacement-amplifying compliant mechanism (DaCM) to the proof-mass of the accelerometer to increase the overall sensitivity ...

Design and fabrication of a GaAs/Al0.4Ga0.6As micro-accelerometer based on piezoresistive effect

In this paper, a novel piezoresistive accelerometer based on the piezoresistive effect of GaAs/Al0.4Ga0.6As thin films was designed. The piezoresistive accelerometer contains four suspended flexural beams and a central proof mass configuration. The piezoresistive effect of a piezoresistor or thin film was used to make a resistor changing the output that is proportional to applied acceleration. ...

Accelerometer - Enhanced Speed Estimation for Linear - Drive Machine Tool Axes

Machine-tool axes for high-speed machining make great demands on the mechanical system, the actuators, and the numerical control. They require a high sti ness, a high bandwidth, and a precise motion at maximum speed. Linear motors as direct drives for machine-tool axes provide the basis to ful l these requirements. They eliminate the gear-related problems of rotary drives with lead-screw transm...
