Accelerometers There are many types of accelerometers, which sense the motion of a mass in order to measure acceleration. There are many different ways to detect the motion. Moreover, there are many parameters to consider such as sensitivity or susceptibility to interference and bandwidth. Therefore, it is important to know which type of sensor to use in order to obtain the best performance in the application. The types of accelerometers are: Piezoelectric (PE), Piezoresistive (PR) and Capacitive. Piezoelectric accelerometers. Piezoelectric accelerometers are made of two parts. The mass, which produces a force due to the acceleration, and the piezoelectric transducer, which generates a charge due to the mass force applied. In the most common design, the mass is between some piezoelectric discs. The mass applies a force on the piezoelectric when it oscillates on it axis. The piezoelectric develops a variable charge in proportion of the force exerted by the mass. Fig 9.5 page 157 A piezoelectric generates an electrical charge when it is pressed. There are some natural piezoelectric materials such as quartz and Rochelle salt, but the charge produce is very small.... ... middle of paper ... ...he length difference is dl, which is the result from the length after minus the length before a force was applied. However, the width and the thickness decreases and it can be noted as dw and dt. This phenomena is due to Poisson’s ratio v, where dw = -vwε and dt = -vtε. Figure 9.7. The reaction of a piezoresistors when a force is applied. The variable use before are useful in order to calculate the cross-sectional area A’, which is: A’ = (W – dw)(t - dt) = wt + 2vwtε + v2wtε . The value of v2wte is smaller than the other two values, thus it could be disregarded. Therefore, the equation could be A - A’ = dA = -2vεA → -2vε = dA/A → dR/R = dρ/ρ + dl/l - dA/A So the gauge factor k is K = ((dρ /ρ )/ ε) + (1 + 2v) Usually v is around 0.2 and 0.3. The last equation presents that the resistivity and geometry are factors that affect the longitudinal gauge facto.
A = cross sectional area of the connecting rod. l = length of the connecting rod.
This shows that there is a difference of 2cm between A and B, and B

A transducer is a mechanism that changes one form of energy to another form. A toaster is a transducer that turns electricity into heat; a loudspeaker is a transducer that changes electricity into sound. Likewise, an ultrasound transducer changes electricity voltage into ultrasound waves, and vice versa. This is possible because of the principle of piezoelectricity, which states that some materials (ceramics, quartz, and others) produce a voltage when deformed by an applied pressure. Conversely, piezoelectricity also results in production of a pressure whe...

A Piezo-electric substance is one that produces an electric charge when a mechanical stress is applied. In a Piezo-electric accelerometer a mass is attached to a Piezo electric crystal which is in turn mounted to the case of the accelerometer. When the body of the accelerometer is subjected to vibration the mass mounted on the crystal wants to stay still in space due to inertia and so compresses and stretches the piezo electric crystal. This force causes a charge to be generated and due to Newton law (F=ma) this force is in turn proportional to acceleration. The charge output is converted to voltage output by the use of integral electronics (for example: in an IEPE accelerometer) or made available as a charge output (pc /g) in a charge output Piezo electric
Where NA is the equivalent number of A transferred per cell during the interval of time t, Q the current quantity supplied to the system during the same time and F is the Faraday constant (96 485 A s mol−1).

The ultrasonic technology can be found from piezoelectric effect conducted research by Pierre Curie 1880. Pierre Curie he discover asymmetrical crystals like Rochelle salt and quartz can generate electricity charge once mechanical pressure is applied. So it is obtained mechanical vibrations from applying electrical oscillations to the crystals. The frequency of Ultrasonic wave should be higher than 20,000 Hz. (Sound waves).
