7.5. MEASUREMENT OF
MAXIMUM
ACCELERATION
Besides shock measurements
the
Peak Rectifier
of
the
2209
is
suitable
for measuring maximum acceleration. This
is
a valuable
quantity
in
the
investigation of fatigue.
The
resonance peak characteristic
of
the
acceler-
ometer requires a low-pass filter
to
be used (Fig.7.18).
