Abstract:
1. A drop impact measuring system for drop testing equipment, said system comprising: a) a plurality of bimorph-type acceleration sensors to be used for identifying one of a plurality of free vibrating sections included in each of said bimorph-type acceleration sensors, respectively, each of said free vibrating sections has a respective individual draw-out electrode and respectively different bandwidth; b) a switch section for allowing selection of one of the outputs of the plurality of bimorph-type acceleration sensors obtained through each draw-out electrode; c) an amplifying circuit for amplifying at least one of voltage and current applied via the switch section from the bimorph-type acceleration sensors; and d) a logic circuit for performing a measurement of an output from the amplifying circuit when said drop impact measuring system is dropped with the equipment and for controlling the switch section to change selection of the outputs of the plurality of bimorph-type acceleration sensors for a subsequent measurement according to a result of said measurements.
