A piezoelectric accelerometer is described which simultaneously measures acceleration and velocity for materials subjected to very rapid impulsive loading. The acceleration signal is derived from a measure of the rate of change of the short-circuited current of a piezoelectric disk in contact with the accelerated surface. The maximum acceleration which the device can measure is about five orders of magnitude greater than the maximum acceleration capability of conventional accelerometers.
