چکیده
MEMS Accelerometer, the new inventions which revolutionized the technical world. Now, it’s time for the self assistive accelerometers. In this paper, we have designed the trampoline, annular diaphragm structured piezoelectric accelerometers using PZT-5H with COMSOL Multiphysics software tool for providing low transverse sensitivity along one axis and good temperature stability. These accelerometers are incorporated into application specific integration circuit (ASIC) and RF telemetry systems to facilitate wireless monitoring of industrial equipment.

Analytical Approach for Vibration Analysis of a Microsensor with Two layers of Silicon and Piezoelectric based on MCST
The vibration analysis is an important step in the design and optimization of microsensors. In most of the cases, COMSOL software is employed to consider the size-dependency on the dynamic behavior in the MEMS sensors. In this paper, the Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST) is used to capture the size effect on dynamic behavior in a microsensor with two layers of the silicon and piezoelectric. ...
