Non-driven Micromechanical Gyroscopes and Their Applications

This book comprehensively and systematically introduces readers to the theories, structures, performance and applications of non-driven mechanical and non-driven micromechanical gyroscopes.

The book is divided into three parts, the first of which mainly addresses mathematic models, precision, performance and operating error in non-driven mechanical gyroscopes. The second part focuses on the operating theory, error, phase shift and performance experiments involving non-driven micromechanical gyroscopes in rotating flight carriers, while the third part shares insights into the application of non-driven micromechanical gyroscopes in control systems for rotating flight carriers.

The book offers a unique resource for all researchers and engineers who are interested in the use of inertial devices and automatic control systems for rotating flight carriers. It can also serve as a reference book for undergraduates, graduates and instructors in related fields at colleges and universities.

Zhang Fuxue is director of the research center for sensor technology, doctoral tutor of Beijing Information Science and Technology University. His research mainly engaged in level posture sensor, accelerometer and micro mechanical gyro. In the recent 10 years, he mainly researches on vehicle driven gyroscope.
