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.
