Abstract

The piezoelectric accelerometer is an electronic instrument based on the direct effect of the piezoelectric material, this device is widely used in the industries to monitor and detect defects of rotating machines in an early stage. In this paper, a thorough study of the piezoelectric accelerometer is carried out to understand its design and operation principle. A mathematical model of the accelerometer is developed based on Newton motion law then a new relative sensitivity equation in function of measurement error is extracted. This new equation has allowed a significant reduction in the measurement error, a maximum improvement in the precision and an optimization of the piezoelectric accelerometer relative sensitivity by the appropriate choice of damping rate. These improvements have optimized the accelerometer parameters and performances.
