Study for Dynamic Characteristics of the Accelerometer Mounting Fixtures

Accelerometer mounting fixtures were prepared with the different materials(Ti and SUS). The dynamic characteristics of the mounting fixture were analyzed by finite element method(FEM), and the mode shape of each order and the displacement response for modelling the mounting fixture were analyzed by ANSYS, then resonant frequencies of the mounting fixtures with Ti and SUS were 22.700 and 23.390 kHz, respectively. The dynamic characteristics of the mounting fixture with the different positions were obtained by using laser interferometer. The response of the accelerometer was nearly a constant from 40 Hz to 500 Hz, but the change of the acceleration was increased with an increase of the frequency above 500 Hz.
