What is an accelerograph? Here are some definitions.
Noun
(military) An apparatus for studying the combustion of powder in guns, etc.
(geology) An instrument used to record the acceleration of the ground during an earthquake.
Examples
Using a low energy-consumption application, we have used the smartphones inertial sensor as an accelerograph.
An accelerograph has been installed newly at the station PKIN in May 2015, after the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake.
These efforts included the diagnosis of existing equipment, the corrective maintenance of accelerograph stations, and the design and construction of the sheds where new equipment was installed.
Finally, the mechanical characteristics of the first strong motion accelerograph are outlined.
The study presented in this paper is based on main shock strong motions from 13 stations of the Algerian accelerograph network.
The system has a central accelerograph station, located at bedrock level, in which the ground motion is recorded after the occurrence of any earthquake.
