Application Examples of Accelerometers

What are Accelerometers Used For?

Structural Health Monitoring

• Deterioration diagnosis of social infrastructures such as bridges and elevated tracks and roads
• Inclination measurement of large machinery, large structures, and ships
  - Application monitoring (e.g., pipelines, large plants)
  - Structural health monitoring through vibration characteristic measurement of architectural and civil engineering structures (e.g., monitoring structural vibrations to assess integrity) Measurement of low-frequency environmental vibrations, etc.

Seismic Sensing

• Damage level assessment by floor in high-rise buildings
• Seismic intensity assessment through displacement measurement before and after an earthquake, and vibration measurement associated with an earthquake
  - Measurement of strong motion, micro-vibrations, and long-period ground motion, as well as earthquake itself
