Acceleration and inclination sensors based on magnetic levitation

François Barrot

Some fields such as the Monitoring of Civil Engineering Structures, need very sensitive acceleration and inclination sensors with a high resolution at low accelerations (typically less than 1G) and moderate frequencies (typically less than 20 Hz) or very s ...
