Accelerometers

A variety of high-accuracy piezoelectric and MEMS accelerometers are available at the GCC. For example, the Brüel & Kjaer accelerometers can be used to measure the dynamic response of soil-foundation-structure systems subjected to body and surface waves caused by various vibration sources (e.g., seismic loading). They can also be used for in-flight measurement of small-strain soil stiffness, based on S- and P-wave velocity measurements (external pageJ75call_made).
