“…The authors of [18] used a modal response of a stiffened aircraft panel in order to detect damaged regions on its skin. An interesting approach with MEMS accelerometers used for vibration measurements in Airbus A320 stabilizer was described by Ratcliffe et al [19]. They used a net of MEMS accelerometers in order to detect and localize the damage occurred in a vertical stabilizer of damaged aircraft.…”

“…In the literature one may found that the level of precision of MEMS-based sensors has raised significantly [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45], which allows its use in teaching, research and industrial applications, which require a higher precision in their results. The same can be spoken about the Arduino microcontrollers present in the market, which are being used in a wide range of applications from teaching and research to industrial.…”

This paper is aimed at undergraduate students of physics, engineering and mathematics, where a methodology for mechanical vibration analysis of a multi degree of freedom (DOF) excited by an harmonic force in the time and frequency domain is presented. The Arduino microcontroller is used as an acquisition system and low-cost MEMS accelerometers for the instrumentation of the system. System of multi DOF are studied in a great number of problems in mechanical sciences, however its experimental study is not always present in the courses due to the high costs and complexity. These problems are overpassed with the study proposed in this work. Besides, the application presented has an interface with several disciplines in undergraduation and graduation level. The method proposed can be easy implemented and the results obtained had good precision and are in agreement with the literature.

In recent years, high resolution micro accelerometers are increasingly finding various applications in different segments of life. The current work deals with the design of a high resolution single axis accelerometer based on SOI-MEMS technology. Accordingly two different approaches for designing comb type, capacitive, SOI-MEMS accelerometer is presented. Initially a system level approach using a simulation platform from SABER is carried out to obtain the basic design. Later, a device level design is carried out by building three dimensional (3D) geometric models using finite element (FE) simulations through CoventorWare software. Different design parameters like mechanical and electrical sensitivity, capacitance values, resonant frequency, etc. are obtained in either of the cases and compared. The design is optimized based on the overall sensitivity and the system noise level both electrical and mechanical, respectively. The complete design is worked out in accordance with the silicon on insulator based multiuser MEMS fabrication processes (MUMPs) technology from MEMSCAP foundry.
