High performance MEMS accelerometers for concrete SHM applications and comparison with COTS accelerometers
Little existence of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometers for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Acceleration sensing, signal processing and communication electronics integration possible by MEMS technology. High sensitivity, low noise floor and small bandwidth smart acceleration sensor for SHM  A challenge as on date!. Exclusive design of bulk micromachined piezoresistive and surface micromachined capacitive accelerometers for SHM applications is the special feature of this research. Performance comparison with commercial MEMS accelerometers establishes the superiority of the reported devices.
