MEMS/NEMS Vibratory Gyroscope — Coriolis Mode Coupling (2D)

A real-time 2D coupled drive/sense mass-spring-damper integrator for a MEMS vibratory gyroscope: watch the Coriolis force couple energy from the drive axis into the sense axis frame by frame, and verify the sense amplitude scales linearly with rotation rate.

Vibratory gyroscopes are the working core of every phone, drone and vehicle stability system: a nanoelectromechanical proof mass is driven into resonant oscillation along one axis, and the Coriolis pseudo-force generated by device rotation couples a fraction of that energy into a second, orthogonal "sense" mode whose amplitude is directly proportional to angular rate. This 2D companion simulator integrates the coupled drive/sense mass-spring-damper equations from scratch with a real-time Runge–Kutta solver — nothing is pre-solved — animating the actual x–y trajectory of the proof mass and independently sweeping rotation rate through the same integrator to build a live calibration curve, verifying frame by frame that sense amplitude tracks rotation rate linearly.

⚙ Under the hood

Drive a nanoscale proof mass at its resonance and watch the Coriolis force couple energy into an orthogonal sense mode when the device rotates — tune drive frequency, rotation rate, mode mismatch and sense-mode Q to see why mode-matching amplifies gyroscope sensitivity.
