Both analytical and experimental results indicate that acceleration rate sensors can detect the arrival of realistic shock earlier than conventional accelerometers can. An ultra-high-precision high-speed piezoelectric impact system with an on-line load cell was also modeled, designed, and built. The sensitivity of this on-line load cell was calibrated by using a standard quartz load cell. This innovative high-speed impact hammer system was found to have a timing accuracy in the range of microseconds and a positioning accuracy in the range of micrometers.application/pdf369308 bytesapplication/pdfen-USAcceleration measurement; Frequency response; Piezoelectric devices; Sensitivity analysis; Structural analysis; Acceleration rate sensors; High-speed impact hammer systems; Sensors10.2514/2.43132-s2.0-0032167259WOS:000075617900003http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/120128/1/07.pdf
