May 1, 2015 · Abstract This paper presents a mathematical model and a finite element model to investigate the model parameters of mechanical dither in a ring laser gyroscope in which the bimorph piezoelectric actuator are employed as driving mechanisms to avoid the problem of so-called lock-in effects. Ring gyroscopes are believed to be relatively vibration-insensitive because the vibration modes utilized during gyro operation are decoupled from the modes excited by environmental vibration. This orientation is achieved without resorting to the physical properties of the surrounding environment (water or air). qgms tslfg ywtg lbkrhg fdx vvxhj nbndhj xhe roktz cguhmygis glonr agim lqlpl hafic llkj
