Shock Transducer with Hall Sensing Element
The aim of this paper is to show a determination method for mechanical shocks, using as sensing element an analogical Hall effect transducer. In the first part of the paper there will be enunciated the used physical principle, mentioning the conservation laws of mechanical energy and in following part we will describe the experimental setups and the behavior of the implemented captors. We will also analyze the factors that can generate errors or they can disturb the measurement process. There will be presented the sensors as well as a implementation method of the sensor in complex integrated parts which contain the signal processing circuits and the sensing element. We can consider this transducers not a replacement to the present methods (piezoresistive, tensometric, optical, etc), but a viable alternative which is easy to implement.
