CHAPTER 19
Flywheel
Chapter Objectives
Determine the maximum fluctuation of energy from torque versus angular displacement diagram, for a given problem.
Choose a suitable value for coefficient of fluctuation of speed and calculate mass moment of inertia I, of the flywheel.
Decide the type of flywheel to be used, the material of the flywheel, and the allowable tensile stress for the material, depending upon the values of I.
Design a simple, thin, disc-type flywheel for small values of I.
Design a hub, a rim, and a thin, circular web-type flywheel for moderate values of I.
Design a rim, hub, and spokes-type flywheel for large values of I.
