  2. Outline • Introduction • The major goal of Inertial impact sensor • The micro impact sensor proposed in this study • Simulation • Conclusion • Reference

  3. Introduction • Inertial sensors have been extensively utilized in science like inertial navigation systems and airbag triggers . • For high G(>300G) applications. Reaction times for conventional mechanical type impact sensors are not fast enough.

  4. The major goal of inertial impact sensor • Designing an impact sensor that has a faster reaction time than conventional sensors and a mechanism that is sufficiently robust to survive the impact when a vehicle collides with a hard target is the major goal of this study.

  5. Conventional inertial impact sensor • (a)cantilever beam type • (b)axial spring type

  6. MDS System trigger • MDS: Mass- Damper- Spring Dynamic

  7. Proof mass expressed by dynamic equation lamped system:

  8. Use Laplace transformation to the second –order function for acceleration mass:

  9. The micro impact sensor proposed in this study

  10. To evaluate system reaction time, 4 different arrangements of spring and proof mass were tested.

  11. The proof mass scale and coil number of the sensor

  12. Simulation • Displacement versus applied forces for each sensor

  13. The response time of the micro-sensor

  14. Proof mass increases from 0.62 to 1.0, and thespring constant remains unchanged, the reaction time isdecreased.

  15. Minimum G values for the sensors to be triggered

  16. Reducing the spring constant, and retaining the proof mass, the reaction time decreased and the trigger G value decreased for sensors

  17. Minimum G values for the sensors to be triggered

  18. The plastic strain of the type 1 sensor in 21000G • With no significant interference in the x and z axis; consequently,sensor stability is very good.

  19. Conclusion • This proposed impact sensor is intended for use at 8,000–21,000G. Four different designs were analyzed. • The impact sensors were sufficiently robust to survive the impact of at least 21,000G, four times higher than that of conventional inertial impact sensors.
