Model Design of Piezoelectric Micromachined Modal Gyroscope

الملخص EN

This paper reports a novel kind of solid-state microgyroscope, which is called piezoelectric micromachined modal gyroscope (PMMG).

PMMG has large stiffness and robust resistance to shake and strike because there is no evident mass-spring component in its structure.

This work focused on quantitative optimization of the gyroscope, which is still blank for such gyroscope.

The modal analysis by the finite element method (FEM) was firstly conducted.

A set of quantitative indicators were developed to optimize the operation mode.

By FEM, the harmonic analysis was conducted to find the way to efficiently actuate the operational mode needed.

The optimal configuration of driving electrodes was obtained.

At last, the Coriolis analysis was conducted to show the relation between angular velocity and differential output voltage by the Coriolis force under working condition.

The results obtained in this paper provide theoretical basis for realizing this novel kind of micromachined gyroscope.
