Abstract:Microelectromechanical (MEM) Accelerometers measure the accelerations or vibrations experienced by objects due to inertial forces or mechanical excitations. To improve their proof mass displacement, several alternatives have been used, such as the design of different shapes of suspension beams. In this work, a new shape of beam is proposed based on alternated segments of different widths. To analyze its performance, one-quarter, middle and complete accelerometers were calculated and simulated; the results were… Show more
