Flexure-, compression-, and shear-type piezo accelerometers (relative to the structure of the piezo material) each have characteristics that make them more or less appropriate for different tasks.

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known ...
Abstract: To achieve high single-step efficiency (SSE), a novel bionic stick-slip piezoelectric actuator inspired by kangaroo’s leg mechanics is proposed in this article. The bionic design ...
Abstract: Piezoelectric inertial actuators (PIAs) enable cross-scale motion ranging from nanometers to millimeters with simple and compact structures. However, friction and wear issues limit their ...
In this work, we demonstrate the ability of lysozyme amyloid protein fibrils to possess piezoelectric capabilities when assembled into a freestanding bulk material. We transformed hen egg white ...
