Title

Flywheel Optimization Under Speed Fluctuation Effects.

Abstract

An optimization method is devised to find the optimum profile of flywheels subject to different levels of angular acceleration representing the rate of speed fluctuation. To minimize the effect of the speed fluctuation, the optimum shapes possess maximum inertia per mass while satisfying suitable uniform equivalent stress distribution. The stresses are evaluated in nondimensional form by a matrix inversion. Equivalent nondimensional stresses which include radial and tangential components due to rotation and the shear generated by acceleration are obtained by distortion energy theorem. The effects of geometrical and operational parameters on the optimum profile are demonstrated.
