Description:
Seismometers and accelerometers are essential instruments in geotechnical and structural monitoring, designed to measure ground motion, structural vibrations, and dynamic responses to natural and man-made forces.
Seismometers detect and record ground motions caused by seismic activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tectonic shifts. These sensors provide high sensitivity and long-period measurement capabilities, making them ideal for seismic hazard assessment and early warning systems.
Accelerometers measure dynamic acceleration due to vibrations, shocks, and structural responses. They are widely used in civil engineering, geotechnical monitoring, and industrial applications to assess structural integrity, detect early signs of failure, and improve earthquake-resistant designs.
Both sensors play a critical role in seismic studies, structural health monitoring, and engineering projects requiring precise vibration measurement.
