a A miniaturized accelerometer using the proposed anti-spring mechanism as a suspension structure. b Comparison between force–deflection curves for the accelerometer and the proposed anti-spring mechanism. The anti-spring mechanism curves are obtained from theoretical modeling and FEM simulation, while the accelerometer curves are obtained from FEM simulation
