Abstract

See full text

A dual cantilever beam relaxor-based piezoelectric single crystal accelerometer is provided. A flexural sensing structure is provided that employs at least two piezoelectric cantilever beams having their longitudinal axes disposed in a substantially parallel arrangement with each beam containing at least one relaxor-based single crystal transduction element having its polarization axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam. One end is mounted to a rigid base and the other end can be mounted to a seismic proof-mass or can be free, wherein the base is subjected to dynamic excitation from either mechanical or acoustical origin. The flexible sensing structure can optionally be encapsulated in a viscoelastic material having a mechanical compliance and loss that is substantially greater than that of the flexible sensing structure.
