Abstract

La présente invention concerne un capteur de vibration de corps capable de détecter avec précision une vibration du corps même lorsque la surface d'un sujet présente une courbure significative. Ce capteur de vibration de corps est pourvu d'un élément de détection de vibration ayant un corps piézoélectrique de type feuille et une paire d'électrodes stratifiées sur les surfaces avant et arrière du corps piézoélectrique. L'élément de détection de vibration a une structure d'amortissement qui change la flexibilité des parties de celui-ci. La structure d'amortissement comprend une ou plusieurs fentes, encoches ou ouvertures formées dans l'élément de détection de vibration.
