Step 1
First, let's start with the formula for the moment of inertia of a flywheel: I = 1/2 * m * r^2 where I is the moment of inertia, m is the mass of the flywheel, and r is the radius of the flywheel. Show more…

4. Determine the greatest constant angular velocity v of the flywheel so that the average normal stress in its rim does not exceed s = 15 MPa. Assume the rim is a thin ring having a thickness of 3 mm, width of 20 mm, and a mass of 30 kg>m. Rotation occurs in the horizontal plane. Neglect the effect of the spokes in the analysis. Hint: Consider a free-body diagram of a semicircular segment of the ring. The centre of mass for this segment is located at nr = 2r>? from the centre.

The 75 -kg flywheel has a radius of gyration about its shaft axis of $\bar{k}=0.50 \mathrm{m}$ and is subjected to the torque $M=10\left(1-e^{-t}\right) \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m},$ where $t$ is in seconds. If the flywheel is at rest at time $t=0$ determine its angular velocity $\omega$ at $t=3$ s.

The flywheel of an engine driving a dynamo has a mass of 180 kg and a radius of gyration of 30 mm. The shaft at the flywheel end has an effective length of 250 mm and is 50 mm diameter. The armature mass is 120 kg and its radius of gyration is 22.5 mm. The dynamo shaft is 34 mm diameter and 200 mm effective length. Calculate the position of node and frequency of torsional oscillation. G = 83 kN/mm2.
