High-speed MEMS accelerometry network mimicking natural subduction zone seismic networks for Foamquake monitoring

Abstract

To overcome the limitations imposed by the acquisition frequency of high-resolution cameras in characterizing the nucleation and describing the dynamic propagation of experimental earthquakes, a high-speed accelerometer network based on devices that combine mechanical and electronic components in a single system (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System, MEMS) has been developed [1].
The MEMS network was designed as an analogue of the seismic networks found in subduction zones. Preliminary results indicate that integrating this accelerometer network with camera data allows for a more detailed characterization of the...
