Abstract
An acceleration measurement system for measuring acceleration of a target object includes an accelerometer mount that includes at least one mass, at least one elastic member, and at least one damping material. A method of measuring acceleration of a target object includes selecting the at least one elastic member and the damping material provide a more accurate transmission from the target object to an accelerometer that is connected to the accelerometer mount.
Claims40
An acceleration measurement system for measuring acceleration of a target object, the system comprising:
- an accelerometer mount configured to be mounted on the target object, the accelerometer mount including:
- at least one damping material,
- at least one mass, and
- at least one elastic member;
- and
- an accelerometer connected to the accelerometer mount.
A method of measuring acceleration of a target object, the method comprising:
- selecting at least one elastic member and at least one damping material for inclusion in an accelerometer mount;
- coupling an accelerometer to the accelerometer mount and the accelerometer mount to the target object;
- and
- using the accelerometer to measure the acceleration of the target object.
