Finite Element Analysis of Flywheel to determine Shear Stresses and Critical Speed with Different Materials

The effective uses of a flywheel are limited at its maximum operational junction frequency. The study was conducted by using the finite element method. The flywheels are used with flow of with rotation such as power houses components and industrial applications. The major study was done on flywheel by using different materials. A natural frequency was analyzed and Campbell diagram analysis is performed for validation. In our analysis, ANSYS was used and the model was developed on CREO 5.0. In order to verify the present ANSYS model, the natural frequency with their modes by using six types of materials are compared with the available base paper results present in the literature and the design of flywheel with different materials of CFRP, T1000G, T300, EPOXY, POM, SNCM616. In this study, the simulations of flywheels and six types of materials were analyzed for natural frequency and the configurations of flywheel design are proposed. The results show that flywheel material like T1000G of flywheel the decrease in a critical speed number of modes simultaneously. The critical speed of the flywheel with different material is compared by using six types of materials and is predicted .Flywheel profile a T1000G gives higher frequencies and less critical speed in different modes.
