Accelerometer project

In the accelerometer project you will study a mass-spring-damper system using an accelerometer as example. You will work together in groups of 4 to 6 students and choose your own application for an accelerometer. Next, you will design and build the accelerometer. Besides a theoretical analysis, you will use Simulink to simulate your design and study the influence of the various parameters. Final goal of the project is the realization of a complete working accelerometer system, so that you can compare the actual system with the behavior that was predicted by the simulations.
