Abstract. The possibilities of constructive realization of rotational seismometers with the use of fundamentally new two-and four-element piezoelectric rotation sensors are considered. On the basis of detailed review of existing piezoelectric accelerometers for strong earthquakes design of three-component rotational piezoelectric accelerometers symmetric with respect to the vertical location component is proposed. The calculation of the instrument suitable for well observations is given. The prospects of using the new modern piezoelectric materials are noted.

Keywords: piezoelectric transducers, rotational seismometers, strong motion, parameters of rotational seismic vibrations, piezoelectric accelerometers
