Functions of a flywheel
Flywheel, heavy wheel attached to a rotating shaft so as to smooth out the delivery of power from a motor to a machine. The inertia of the flywheel opposes and moderates fluctuations in the speed of the engine and stores the excess energy for intermittent use. To oppose speed fluctuations effectively, a flywheel is given high rotational inertia; i.e., most of its weight is well out from the axis. The energy stored in a flywheel, however, depends on both the weight distribution and the rotary speed; if the speed is doubled, the kinetic energy is quadrupled. For minimum weight and high energy-storing capacity, a flywheel may be made of high-strength steel and designed as a tapered disk, thick at the center and thin at the rim.
How to Calculate Diameter of part of centre crankshaft under flywheel at TDC position?
Diameter of part of centre crankshaft under flywheel at TDC position calculator uses Diameter of Shaft under Flywheel = ((32*Total Bending Moment in Crankshaft under Flywheel)/(pi*Bending Stress in Shaft Under Flywheel))^(1/3) to calculate the Diameter of Shaft under Flywheel, Diameter of part of centre crankshaft under flywheel at TDC position is the diameter of the part of the crankshaft under the flywheel, where the crankshaft is designed for when the crank is at the top dead center position and subjected to maximum bending moment and no torsional moment. Diameter of Shaft under Flywheel is denoted by ds symbol.
How to calculate Diameter of part of centre crankshaft under flywheel at TDC position using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Diameter of part of centre crankshaft under flywheel at TDC position, enter Total Bending Moment in Crankshaft under Flywheel (Mbr) & Bending Stress in Shaft Under Flywheel (σbf) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Diameter of part of centre crankshaft under flywheel at TDC position calculation can be explained with given input values -> 31748.97 = ((32*100.45)/(pi*32000000))^(1/3).
