Triaxial Accelerometer for Placement Inside the Ear Canal

Kwa T., Pender G., Letterneau J., Endevco Corporation, Meggitt Sensing Systems, US

A second generation MEMS-based in-ear shock measurement system fitting deep into the ear canal has been developed to measure traumatic brain injury (TBI). It consists of the world’s smallest triaxial accelerometer die, a shielded flex [...]

Modeling and Simulation of A Surface Micromachined Triaxial Accelerometer

Jiang L., Carr W.N., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US

We present the modeling and simulation results in designing a surface micromachined, capacitive triaxial accelerometer. Electrical FEA simulations calculate the nominal values of the sensing capacitors and compared with parallel-plate analytical model. The mechanical static [...]
