Abstract:
The invention concerns a folded pendulum, comprising: a support (F); a test mass (PM); a simple pendulum (SP); an inverted pendulum (IP); the simple pendulum and the inverted pendulum being connected at one of their ends to the test mass (PM) and at the other end to the support (F) by means of 4 corresponding joint systems (G), the test mass being not connected to the support (F) and being therefore free to oscillate, each joint system (G) relevant to the simple pendulum (PS) comprising one or more joints in tension, the folded pendulum being characterized in that: each of the joint systems (G) relevant to the inverted pendulum (IP) comprises one or more joints in compression. The invention further concern a seismic sensor utilizing the folded pendulum according to the invention.
