Abstract
This thesis describes research into the use of a piezoelectric tuning fork as the displacement sensor in a simple force feedback seismometer. The research also includes the use of a second piezoelectric transducer as both the suspension system and the force transducer for the seismometer. A simple inertial seismometer model, based on a damped mass-spring system, was developed.
