Abstract

The response of the float two-stage angular velocity sensor to the simultaneous perturbation from the rocket body-kinematic perturbation-and the penetrating acoustic radiation from the propulsion engines of the launch vehicle were determined. The solution of two equations was successively analyzed: the first and second approximations, and the synchronous and asynchronous fuselage pitch. The reaction of the float gyroscope to harmonic oscillations of the base was analyzed. The effect of the zero shift of the device due only to the angular oscillations of the launch vehicle body and the penetrating acoustic radiation was considered. The presented results reveal the nature of the appearance of inertia forces acting on the impedance surface of the gyroscope float suspension. Acoustic radiation that passes into a device generates many vibration modes on the surface and can have a considerable effect on the precision of float two-stage angular velocity sensor and gyro-stabilized platforms.
