High-Resolution Strain Detection for Geoscience

Achieving high-resolution strain detection for geoscience and geohazard monitoring is made possible through the design of a novel instrument utilizing the MEMS strain sensor.

Design and Components

  • Cement Base: Transmits strain to sensors, poured into a mold for installation.
  • Plastic Cap: Houses the readout electronics and protects the device.

Precision MEMS Sensor Integration

The strain-meter incorporates MEMS sensors in the XYZ directions for high-accuracy monitoring, essential for anticipating seismic events.
