Video Summary and Technical Context
The project video for Design and Multiphysics Analysis of a Mode-Matched MEMS Vibratory Gyroscope with Electrostatic Tuning & Capacitive Readout COMSOL Multiphysics should be read together with the technical text on this page. The expected workflow begins with the Drive resonator / proof mass, proceeds through Sense resonator / orthogonal mode and Suspension springs and anchors, and then records Drive and sense eigenfrequencies, Mode shapes and frequency split, Coriolis-induced sense displacement.
