Mass of the accelerometers should be less than a tenth of the measurement mass.

Accelerometers can be linear up to 50,000 to 100,000 m/s**2 or up to 1,000,000 m/s**2 for high shock designs.

Typically used for 10-10,000 Hz, but can be used up to 10KHz

Temperature variations can reduce the accuracy of the sensors.

typical parameters are,

sensitivity

resonant f (Hz)

 

 

4.5 pC/(m/s**2)

22 KHz

.004

180KHz

These devices can be calibrated with shakers, for example a 1g shaker will hit a peak velocity of

9.81m/s**2

13.7 FORCE/MOMENT

• These values cannot currently be measured directly, and count on indirect measurements based on deflections or strain.

13.7.1 Strain Gages

These devices are attached to surfaces. As the surfaces experience stress/strain the devices are stretched and the resistance changes.

The basic theory is based on a stretched wire.

• Changes in strain gauge values are typically small (large values would require strains that would cause the gauges to plastically deform). As a result the resistance values are also small, so we can use resistor bridges (eg whetstone bridge) to amplify the effect. In this circuit the variable resistor R2 should be turned until the circuit is balanced for no strain.

• If the strain gauge is placed in the direction of the strain it will read the full strain. If the gauge is perpendicular, the reading will be zero.

uniaxial - the direction is critical

rosette - two gauges at 90deg. to each other will measure strain components in two direction (and can measure shear).

• In some machines (etc.) a strain gauge is often mounted on a narrowed member to measure force. This is typically known as a load cell.
