A high reliability, low cost, fluid inertia-angular accelerometer and its application in real time inertial coordinate frame of reference systems
Abstract
The fluid-inertia angular accelerometer first patented by Statham in 1957 is a force-rebalanced device that has found application in such areas as real time flight control and platform stabilization. Since such a device does not rely on a spinning mass, it is intrinsically resistant to environmental degradation and yields long service lives. Attention is given to the accelerometer's integrator washout electronic circuit. Inertial angular displacement can be obtained through the incorporation of an additional integrator/washout stage.
