Parametric analysis of Fiber-Reinforced Laminated Momentum Wheel Rotors

摘要

The objective is to analyze the parameters involved in the design of a graphite-reinforced-epoxy rotor that is made from axisymmetric laminated concentric rings with interferences. This design is proposed for use in a momentum wheel that is used for attitude stabilization of geosynchronous satellites. The formulation of the problem is addressed in the domain of the elasticity theory under plane stress conditions. An analytic model is developed by solving the nonhomogeneous variable-coefficients total differential equilibrium equation using the displacement formulation (Navier's approach).
