Abstract
An environmental data recorder includes an enclosure, a first acceleration recorder array positioned on a first inner surface of the enclosure corresponding to an x-z plane defined by an x-axis and a z-axis, a second acceleration recorder array positioned on a second inner surface of the enclosure corresponding to an x-y plane defined by the x-axis and a y-axis, and a third acceleration recorder array positioned on a third inner surface of the enclosure corresponding to a y-z plane defined by the y-axis and the z-axis. The x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis are orthogonal axes. The first, second, and third acceleration recorder arrays each include a plurality of beams cantilevered at first ends from a base attached to an inner surface of the enclosure and a plurality of known masses associated with the beams. The beams are configured to deform or break when exposed to different g loads.
