A unique multiaxis vibration sensor system based on a flexible fiber Bragg grating (FBG) hinge is presented in this article. Derivation of sensitivity formulae for longitudinal and transverse vibration offers insight into the sensor’s behavior in response to stimuli that are directed in multiple directions. The sensor design is improved via a multiobjective optimization technique, which minimizes interference and increases sensitivity. By tackling crosstalk and interference, a random forest (RF)-based recognition model substantially increases the accuracy of vibration signal identification. High sensitivities are seen in the 100–1000 Hz frequency range: 8.847, 11.71, and 7.687 pm/g. Impressive lateral anti-interference identification rates of 99.58% and 98.75% are attained by our RF model, proving its resilience in a variety of monitoring circumstances. These results highlight the improved dependability and performance of FBG hinge-type accelerometers.
