Vibration Sensing
- Formal
-
A MEMS concept referring to the detection of periodic acceleration and deceleration. Typical applications include structural health monitoring, acoustic event triggering, and seismic equipment.
- Practical
-
Typical applications include structural health monitoring, acoustic event triggering, and seismic equipment. A factory that installs vibration sensors on its motors and pumps would be able to detect a problem before something breaks and avoid a costly shutdown.
