This paper presents a four-degree-of-freedom microgyroscope dynamical model based on a tuning fork vibratory gyroscope, and reports the investigation of the effects of the driving micromachined spring beam and sensing micromachined spring beam on the microgyroscope performance. Two new types of micromachined spring beams, named the three-sect sensing spring beam and the two-sect driving spring beam, were designed and their stiffness equations were deduced. The function for evaluation of micromachined spring beams was established and the dynamic performance of microgyroseopes was optimized by a practical analysis example. The optimization result showed that the optimized gyroscope had the good robustness and high sensitivity. The result is suitable for tuning fork vibratory microgyroscopes, and can provide reference data for design of other micro-electro-mechanical systems.
