A novel medium-frequency accelerometer, based on fiber Bragg grating and flexible hinges, is proposed in this paper. The differential structure doubles the sensitivity of the sensor while avoiding temperature effects. The structure model and principle for the sensor are introduced, the sensor\u2019s sensing characteristics are theoretically analyzed, and the structure parameters for the sensor are determined through numerical analysis. The sensing experiments show that the resonance frequency of the sensor is approximately 2800 Hz, the sensitivity is 21.8 pm\/g in the flat frequency range of 50\u20131000 Hz, and the proposed sensor has a good temperature self-compensation function and lateral anti-interference capability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21216968","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,20]],"date-time":"2021-10-20T21:31:26Z","timestamp":1634765486000},"page":"6968","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["A Medium-Frequency Fiber Bragg Grating Accelerometer Based on Flexible Hinges"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Zichuang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Laboratory for Fiber Optic Sensing Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Laboratory for Fiber Optic Sensing Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Laboratory for Fiber Optic Sensing Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}]},{"given":"Shu","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Laboratory for Fiber Optic Sensing Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Laboratory for Fiber Optic Sensing Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}]},{"given":"Zhiyuan","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Engineering Laboratory for Fiber Optic Sensing Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6980","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eswa.2010.12.017","article-title":"SVM practical industrial application for mechanical faults diagnostic","volume":"38","author":"Baccarini","year":"2011","journal-title":"Expert Syst.
