Design and experimental study of a novel piezoelectric accelerometer

Abstract

The collision or penetration overload signal measured by the general accelerometer may encounter problems such as signal overlap and multi-layer signal adhesion. This paper designs a novel piezoelectric accelerometer with the characteristics of mechanical filtering and switching. The structure and working principle of this accelerometer are described in the paper, and its output characteristics are obtained through experiments. The experimental results show that the output signal of the new piezoelectric accelerometer has the characteristics of less high-frequency interference signal and no signal adhesion, which are conducive to the information extraction of collision and penetration multi-layer target by the flying carrier.
