A review of various kinds of solid tilts sensors, using a free mechanical member for
generation of electric-contact (mostly a ball), is presented. Standard and original solutions …

The application of MEMS capacitive accelerometers is limited by its thermal dependence,
and each accelerometer must be individually calibrated to improve its performance. In this …

In order to build a tilt sensor having a desired sensitivity and measuring range, one should
select an appropriate type, orientation, and initial position of an accelerometer. Various …

Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer-based inclinometers are widely
used to measure deformations of civil structures. To further improve the measurement …

Continuous monitoring of landslides is of basic importance for understanding their behavior,
defining their 3D geometry, and providing a basis for early warning purposes. While a …

A suitable piezoelectric accelerometer mathematical model is proposed to extract a
relationship of motion relative frequency as a function of natural frequency. This relationship …

Effects of a fully natural aging of MEMS accelerometers are evaluated with regard to
