Crystal measures short-term, large-magnitude forces

By using the magnitude of piezoelectric crystal response to distortion and compression, this device measures transient accelerations and their rate of change. The invention could be used in a servo control system by supplementing the accelerometer and taking over its function when its range was exceeded.
