Abstract
An accelerometer is provided comprising an inertial mass connected to a support by means of a hinge and a vibrating element whose ends are respectively fixed to the inertial mass and to the support. The hinge is disposed in the median plane of the vibrating element and the centers of gravity of the vibrating element and of the inertial mass are merged. The effects of internal thermal stresses, which vitiate the results, are considerably reduced.
