Abstract:

The thermomechanics problem of how thermal loads affect the operation of the interface module of a fiber-optic gyroscope has been solved. This paper discusses the development of a structural implementation version for the interface module. The problem is numerically solved by the method of finite elements in the ansys package. It is shown that adding special inserts in the structure of the interface module makes it possible to substantially increase the thermal stability of the operation of the module.
