We tried Analyzing a Bridge with an Accelerometer!

We tried Analyzing a Bridge with an Accelerometer!

Using the accelerometer, we analyzed the displacement of a railway bridge due to a passage of a train.

In this analysis, we obtained a good result showing that the displacement calculated by integrating the acceleration measured by the accelerometer and the result of the contact displacement sensor as a reference match very well.
