Abstract
This chapter presents the main methods for measuring displacement, velocity, and acceleration, commonly used in biomedical determination of other quantities, such as pressure, flow, and force. This chapter will discuss resistive transducers with particular emphasis on strain gauges, both metallic and semiconductor, capacitive, piezoelectric and inductive transducers, with special emphasis on the functioning of linear variable differential transformer. The functioning principle of transducers for velocity and acceleration measurements, tachometers, and accelerometers, respectively, will be presented and their biomedical applications will be exemplified.
