This article proposes a low cross-axis sensitivity resonant MEMS(Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) accelerometer that is optimized based on the BP and NSGA-II algorithms. When resonant accelerometers are used in seismic monitoring, automotive safety systems, and navigation applications, high immunity and low cross-axis sensitivity are required. To improve the high immunity of the accelerometer, a coupling structure is introduced. This structure effectively separates the symmetric and antisymmetric mode frequencies of the DETF resonator and prevents mode coupling. To obtain higher detection accuracy and low cross-axis sensitivity, a decoupling structure is introduced. To find the optimal dimensional parameters of the decoupled structure, the BP and NSGA-II algorithms are used to optimize the dimensional parameters of the decoupled structure. The optimized decoupled structure has an axial stiffness of 6032.21 N/m and a transverse stiffness of 6.29 N/m. The finite element analysis results show that the sensitivity of the accelerometer is 59.1 Hz/g (-axis) and 59 Hz/g (-axis). Cross-axis sensitivity is 0.508% (-axis) and 0.339% (-axis), which is significantly lower than most resonant accelerometers. The coupling structure and optimization method proposed in this paper provide a new solution for designing resonant accelerometers with high interference immunity and low cross-axis sensitivity.

This paper proposes a novel two degree of freedom large range coarse-fine parallel dual-actuation flexure micropositioner (CFPDFM) with low interference behavior. First, the structure and working principle of the CFPDFM are introduced. Then, based on the stiffness matrix method, the analytical models of the motion range, input stiffness, and amplification ratio of the mechanism are established.

The biodynamic response of 12 subjects to single-axis vertical and multi-axis vertical, lateral and roll excitations was studied to advance understanding of the biodynamics. Different from using single-input and single-output (SISO) method, the apparent masses with multiple inputs were estimated by multi-input and single-output (MISO) method, whose advantage was discussed. By studying the relationship between resonance frequencies and excitation magnitudes, the primary resonance frequencies of vertical apparent masses on seat pan and backrest and fore-and-aft cross-axis apparent masses from vertical acceleration on seat pan had a negative correlation with the weighted root-sum-of-square (r.

A three-axis accelerometer with a double L-shaped beams structure was designed and fabricated in this paper, consisting of a supporting body, four double L-shaped beams and intermediate double beams connected to two mass blocks. When applying acceleration to the accelerometer chip, according to the output voltage changes of three Wheatstone bridges constituted by twelve piezoresistors on the roots of the beams, the corresponding acceleration along three axes can be measured based on the elastic force theory and piezoresistive effect. To improve the characteristics of the three-axis accelerometer, we simulated how the width of the intermediate double beams affected the characteristics.
