To evaluate the dynamic characteristic of vibrating wheel micromechanical gyroscope
an optic testing system based on high speed camera system combining with microscope and digital image correlation technique is setup. A sequence of real time images of tested object are recorded and saved by high speed camera (32000fps) equipped microscope
then the corresponding image correlation method for angular vibrating characteristic was applied to figure out movement displacement of vibrator
and the dynamic characteristic of vibrator such as nature frequency
damp coefficient and quality factor can be obtained. As experimental results shown
the precision of image correlation will approach 0.01 pixel
the measurement error was less than 0.01%. This testing system realizes a high precision dynamic characteristic measurement for vibrating wheel micromechanical gyroscope
and it also provides an available method to research dynamic characteristic of microstructure.
