Introduction
Most of the textbooks of machine dynamics and publications
that dedicated to gyroscope theory content the typical examples with
solving of gyroscopic effects by defned analytical approaches.

However, the practice demonstrates that the known mathematical
models for acting forces on the gyroscopic devices do not match
their actual forces and motions.

Recent investigations in the area of
the physical principles of gyroscopic effects have presented the new
mathematical models of forces acting on a gyroscope.

It is defned
that the action of the external load on a gyroscope generates several
inertial resistance and precession torques based on the action of the
rotating mass elements of the spinning rotor. The resistance torque
is generated by the action of the centrifugal and Coriolis forces of
the gyroscope’s mass elements. The precession torque is generated
by the action of the common inertial forces of the gyroscope’s mass
elements and by the change in the angular momentum of the spinning
rotor. These torqueses are acting simultaneously, interdependently
and strictly perpendicular to each other around their axes. Equations
of inertial torques are represented in Table 1.

Abstract
Background: Recent investigations in gyroscopic effects have demonstrated that their
origin has more complex nature that represented in known publications. Actually, on
a gyroscope are acting simultaneously and interdependently eight inertial torques
around two axes. This torques is generated by the centrifugal, common inertial and
Coriolis forces as well as the change in the angular momentum of the masses of
the spinning rotor. The action of these forces manifests in the form of the inertial
resistance and precession torques of gyroscopic devices. New mathematical models for
the inertial torques acting on the spinning rotor demonstrate fundamentally different
approaches and results of solving the problems of gyroscopic devices.The tendency
in contemporary engineering is expressed by the increasing of a velocity of rotating
objectslike turbines, rotors, discs and othersthat lead to the proportional increase
of the magnitudes of inertial forces forming their motions. This work considers a
typical example for computing of the inertial torques acting on the free rolling disc,
which can be a bicycle wheel, rims, hoops, discs, and similar designs that express the
gyroscopiceffects.
