A vibrating structure gyroscope, defined by the IEEE as a Coriolis vibratory gyroscope (CVG), is a gyroscope that uses a vibrating structure to determine the rate of rotation. A vibrating structure gyroscope functions much like the halteres of flies (insects in the order Diptera). The underlying physical principle is that a vibrating object tends to continue vibrating in the same plane even if its support rotates. The Coriolis effect causes the object to exert a force on its support, and by measuring this force the rate of rotation can be determined. Vibrating structure gyroscopes are simpler and cheaper than conventional rotating gyroscopes of similar accuracy. Inexpensive vibrating structure gyroscopes manufactured with MEMS technology are widely used in smartphones, gaming devices, cameras and many other applications. (Wikipedia).
The green inner shaft carrying a long eccentric rotates in a screen of cone shape. The later rotates in bearings supported by springs. The inner shaft and the screen are driven through double cardan joints (not shown). Link for downloading STEP files of this video: http://www.mediafire.com

Separation of Variables - Cylindrical Coordinates (Part 1)
A vibrating drum can be described by a partial differential equation - the wave equation. For a circular drum, the solution for the vibration can be found by using the technique of Separation of Variables in Cylindrical coordinates.
