2. Consider a simplified model of piezoelectric accelerometer with a seismic mass on a piezoelectric material made of PZT?5H. Compare voltage response and mechanical resonance (which will dictate usable range) of the accelerometer when it is used in compression mode and in shear mode (with same seismic mass and piezoelectric material). [Although in reality the shear mode accelerometer's design has two symmetric plates or cylindrical shell type element]. The seismic mass is m. Hint: the piezoelectric accelerometer can be considered mathematically as a 1-D mass-springdamper system. The piezoelectric element is a mechanical analog of a spring.
