Gyroscopy and Navigation Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The principles of designing a MEMS gyro with consideration for strength conditions of the elastic suspension are considered. The main relations for calculation of elastic element parameters are given. The effects caused by vibrations and shocks and conditioned by the presence of stops in the gyro construction are discussed.
