Engineering Physics Annotation << Back POINTWISE MASS BALANCING OF THE CYLINDRICAL RESONATOR GYROSCOPE M.A. BASARAB, B.S. LUNIN, S.V. FETISOV, E.A. Chumankin Expressions for identifi cation of the components of the unbalance of the inhomogeneous mass distribution for the cylindrical resonator gyroscope (CRG) are obtained. These expressions generalize the known results obtained earlier for the hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG). Algorithms of pointwise balancing of the resonator both along the edge («by mass») and on the shell surface («in rigidity») are proposed and generalized. The algorithms allow choosing the optimal number and orientation of the balancing points depending on the number of compensated harmonics of the inhomogeneity. It is shown that the optimal mass removal using the method of least squares is equivalent to picking up the discrete Fourier transform algorithm. Keywords: cylindrical resonator gyroscope, unbalance.
