An apparatus and method for measuring a structural angular acceleration based on dynamic centrifugal force measurement belong to the technical field of angular acceleration measurement. The apparatus has a solid ball. The solid ball can move freely along the radial direction of the outer wall packaging hood. The elastic block is used as a stress base. A rod for lateral limit and connection is used for connecting the rigid block and a pulley and limiting the displacement of solid ball so that the solid ball can only move longitudinally along the apparatus. The rigid block can move freely due to the pulley. Measurement of a transient angular acceleration is converted into dynamic measurement of the centrifugal force of the solid ball. Through the above design, the dynamic angular acceleration of the structure caused by dynamic load can be relatively accurately calculated.

A system and computer-implemented method of determining an acceleration of an engine are provided. The system comprises a processor and a memory comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the processor cause the system to perform a method of determining an acceleration of an engine. The method comprises obtaining and storing zero-crossing timestamps in a buffer, determining angular displacement times of the shaft based on the timestamps, applying a conversion factor to the angular displacement times, determining an acceleration of a shaft based on the angular displacement, and causing a fuel flow to the engine to be adjusted as a function of the acceleration as determined. The zero-crossing timestamps correspond to an angular displacement of a shaft associated with the engine. The zero-crossing timestamps are obtained using an angular displacement measurement device. The conversion factor corresponds to an angular displacement of the shaft.
