Laminated, Composite Flywheel Failure Analysis

摘要

A hybrid, composite flywheel, composed of a laminated, flat S2-glass central disc, with a filament wound, graphite outer ring, has been proposed for vehicle application. The failure mechanism of the laminated central disc of this hybrid design is discussed with reference to spin test data, nondestructive ultrasound test data, and supporting failure analysis.
