Abstract :
A gyroscope is one of the most important mechanical components, used in wide variety of mechanical systems. Although many kinds of gyroscopes are commercially available, for consumer applications, lately becoming a big market for gyroscopes, a vibration gyroscope is the present standard. Vibration gyroscopes are small in size and low cost, however, they are not robust enough for external impact/vibration because they have vibrating elements inside.
