Design of steel-composite multirim cylindrical flywheels manufactured by winding with high tensioning and in situ curing. 2. Numerical analysis

摘要

The possibility of using forced winding coupled with in situ curing to increase the energy storage capacity of hybrid steel-composite cylindrical flywheels is estimated and analyzed. Stress states,for given loading conditions in two- and three-layered compound cylinders made from steel and four different types of unidirectional composites are calculated. For each of these combinations, optimum dimensions and the energy, storage capacity of the flywheels are found.
