Figure 6

Mechanical configuration of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensor array. (a) Three accelerometers were attached to the above and lower sections of maize stalk and the output voltage was recorded using a PC-based data logger with high frequency. Traveling velocity of impact waves between S1 and S2, as well as S2 and S3 on stalk were measured. (b) Simplified schematic diagram of sensor array. (c) Field measurement of wave velocity using the developed system. (d) Pulling tassel base for bending vibration test. (e) Impact test using rubber mallet.
