Introduction By Waha. J Ahmad

Introduction Gyroscope : A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of conservation of angular momentum. Assembly of Gyroscope : A gyroscope has a spinning wheel or disk(rotor) fixed on an axle, which is free to take any orientation. Over the disc, gimbals may or may not be assembled.

Concept for working of Gyroscope : Spin the gyro Apply force Perpendicular Twist will be produced

Precessional Angular Motion Spin axis : The axis about which the gyro rotates. Precession axis : The axis about which the perpendicular twisting or tilting force apply. The angular motion of the axis of spin about the axis of precession is known as Precessional angular motion

Precessional Angular Motion The Cause of Precession: - Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion. - Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Gyroscopic Couple By Hassan Baber

Gyroscopic Couple A device consisting of a spinning mass, typically a disk or wheel, mounted on a base so that its axis can turn freely in one or more directions and thereby maintain its orientation regardless of any movement of the base. The turning moment which opposes any change of the inclination of the axis of rotation of a gyroscope. Explanation : Axis & Plane of Spinning Axis & Plane of Precession Active gyroscopic couple. (Axis and Plane) Reactive gyroscopic couple. (Axis and Plane).

Gyroscopic Couple Consider a disc spinning with an angular velocity ω rad/s about the axis of spin OX, in anticlockwise direction when seen from the front; Change in angular momentum; and rate of change of angular momentum In the limit when δt→ 0,

Gyroscopic Couple on Airplane The top and front view of an airplane. Let engine or propeller rotates in the clockwise direction when seen from the rear or tail end and the airplane takes a turn to the left. When the propeller rotates in anti-clockwise direction & : The airplane takes a right turn, the gyroscope will raise the nose and dip the tail. The airplane takes a left turn, the gyroscope will dip the nose and raise the tail. Explanation : Let ω = m = k = I = Angular velocity of the engine in rad/s, Mass of the engine and the propeller in kg, Its radius of gyration in metres, Mass moment of inertia of the engine and the propeller in kg-m²= m. k², v = Linear velocity of the airplane in m/s, R = Radius of curvature in metres, and ωP = Angular velocity of precession =v/R rad/s ∴ Gyroscopic couple acting on the airplane, C = I. ω. ωP

Gyroscope In Naval Ships By Mujtaba Abbas

Gyroscope In Naval Ships The fore end of the ship is called bow. The rear end is known as stern or aft. The left hand is called port. The right hand sides of the ship, star-board. Effect on Naval Ships during Steering Rolling Pitching

Gyroscopic Effect In Naval Ships during Steering is the turning of a complete ship in a curve towards left or right, while it moves forward. Consider the ship taking a left turn, and rotor rotates in the clockwise direction. When the rotor of the ship rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the stern, it will have its angular Momentum vector in the direction ox as shown in Fig. (a) When the ship steers to the right under Similar conditions as discussed above, the effect of the reactive gyroscopic couple, as shown in Fig. (b), will be to raise the stern and lower the bow.

Gyroscopic Effect In Naval Ships during Rolling The effect of gyroscopic couple to occur, the axis of precession should always be perpendicular to the axis of spin. If, however, the axis of precession becomes parallel to the axis of spin, there will be no effect of the gyroscopic couple acting on the body of the ship. In case of rolling of a ship, the axis of precession (i. e. longitudinal axis) is always parallel to the axis of spin for all positions. Hence, there is no effect of the gyroscopic couple acting on the body of a ship. Gyroscopic Effect In Naval Ships during Pitching is the movement of a ship up and down in a vertical plane about transverse axis. The transverse axis is the axis of precession. The pitching of the ship is assumed to take place with the Simple Harmonic Motion.
