Download or read book Optimal Design of Hybrid Composite Flywheel Rotor Phase II. written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes three related efforts on optimization of composite flywheel rotors: 1) The effects of angles of filament winding on residual strains. These strains strongly affect mechanical performance. 2) The effects of rotor size and matrix epoxy system on residual strains and use of hybrid designs to optimize performance. 3) Development of a stress-analysis module and a software package to optimize flywheel-rotor design.
