  2. Newmark-beta method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newmark-beta_method

    here is the mass matrix, is the damping matrix, and are internal force per unit displacement and external forces, respectively. Using the extended mean value theorem , the Newmark- β {\displaystyle \beta } method states that the first time derivative (velocity in the equation of motion ) can be solved as,

  3. Piezoelectric accelerometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_accelerometer

    Both methods ensure that unwanted orthogonal acceleration vectors are excluded from detection. Manufacturing an accelerometer that uses piezoresistance first starts with a semiconductor layer that is attached to a handle wafer by a thick oxide layer. The semiconductor layer is then patterned to the accelerometer's geometry.

  4. Digital image correlation and tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_image_correlation...

    This method is often used to measure full-field displacement and strains, and it is widely applied in many areas of science and engineering. Compared to strain gauges and extensometers , digital image correlation methods provide finer details about deformation, due to the ability to provide both local and average data.

  5. Accelerometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerometer

    An accelerometer measures proper acceleration, which is the acceleration it experiences relative to freefall and is the acceleration felt by people and objects. [2] Put another way, at any point in spacetime the equivalence principle guarantees the existence of a local inertial frame, and an accelerometer measures the acceleration relative to that frame. [4]

  6. Shock response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_response_spectrum

    SRS representation of the transient input shown above in SRS form. A Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) [1] is a graphical representation of a shock, or any other transient acceleration input, in terms of how a Single Degree Of Freedom (SDOF) system (like a mass on a spring) would respond to that input.

  7. Modal analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_analysis

    Modern day experimental modal analysis systems are composed of 1) sensors such as transducers (typically accelerometers, load cells), or non contact via a Laser vibrometer, or stereophotogrammetric cameras 2) data acquisition system and an analog-to-digital converter front end (to digitize analog instrumentation signals) and 3) host PC ...

  8. Piezoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_sensor

    For accelerometers, a seismic mass is attached to the crystal elements. When the accelerometer experiences a motion, the invariant seismic mass loads the elements according to Newton's second law of motion =. The main difference in working principle between these two cases is the way they apply forces to the sensing elements.

  9. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    That is, each time the mass passes through a minimum or maximum displacement, the mass experiences a discontinuous acceleration, and the jerk contains a Dirac delta until the mass stops. The static friction force adapts to the residual spring force, establishing equilibrium with zero net force and zero velocity.
