Abstract In [1], the motion of a hemispherical resonator gyro has been studied in the case of anomalies (unbalances) in the distribution of masses under the assumption that all anomalies are concentrated on the edge of the resonator and have an arbitrary distribution. It has been shown that the overall reaction at the points of support is affected by the first three harmonics of the unbalance, each component being characterized by three scalar parameters. Methods have been suggested for an experimental determination of the unbalance parameters, together with balancing adjustments ensuring that these parameters become equal to zero. In the present paper, we consider the case of anomalous mass distribution on the entire surface of the resonator. We show that in order to have a complete description of an arbitrary surface distribution of unbalances, as regards its effect on the reaction at the points of support, each of the first three harmonics should involve two additional scalar parameters, apart from the two parameters introduced in [1]. The first pairs of the parameters determine the effect of the waveform on the resultant of reaction forces at the points of support, whereas the second pairs of the harmonic parameters determine the effect of the waveform on the net torque due to the reaction forces. The reaction at the points of support vanishes only if all twelve parameters (four for each harmonic) are equal to zero. We propose a method to determine the values of the unbalance parameters and suggest balancing adjustments for the annihilation of the reaction forces and torques.
