Integration of Accelerometers

We have several 3-axis accelerometers attached to a rigid body at arbitrary positions. The rigid body is moving at arbitrary linear and angular movements, but the accelerometers can only sense linear accelerations. Consequently, the information about angular movements of the rigid body is not available.

A question is whether it is possible to integrate them to get an equivalent accelerometer without using angular movement information.
After consideration, I think the answer for that question is 'YES'.

Accelerometer LIS3DSH

LIS3DSH is an 3-axis MEMS accelerometer made by STMicroelectronics. Its full scale range is selectable from ±2g to ±16g. The size is small and it is only 3mm x 3mm. Either SPI or I2C can be used to interface with it. Supply voltage is from 1.71 V to 3.6 V. In this article, testing and evaluation of STEVAL-MKI134V1 adapter board is discussed.
