Abstract

Vibration measurements to monitor the condition of machinery and machine elements offers several advantages over traditional methods of nondestructive evaluation. RIST(Research Institute of Industrial Science & Technology) has established a calibration system for accelerometers that measures within a frequency range from 2Hz to 6,300Hz and a temperature range from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $180^{\circ}C$. The calibration procedures are based on the principle of the comparison method. To monitor vibration signals of machinery and machine elements, annular shear type piezoelectric accelerometers employing solid state microelectronics were fabricated. The voltage sensitivity and resonant frequency of fabricated accelerometers was 83mV/g, 23kHz, respectively. This paper discusses the method of fabrication of annular shear type piezoelectric accelerometers and the results of field tests in POSCO(Pohang Iron & Steel Co. LTD.).
