Analysis of a Bimorph Accelerometer Using Analytical and Finite Element Modeling

In this paper, a Bimorph Accelerometer with symmetric bimorphs and central supporting pole configuration is developed and analytically characterized. Calibration function is defined to describe the system dynamics of the accelerometer. Closed-form expression for the calibration function is then der...
