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 Resultant Bending Moment in centre crankshaft at TDC position below flywheel given shaft diameter?
Resultant Bending Moment in centre crankshaft at TDC position below flywheel given shaft diameter calculator uses Total Bending Moment in Crankshaft under Flywheel = (pi*Diameter of Shaft under Flywheel^3*Bending Stress in Shaft Under Flywheel)/32 to calculate the Total Bending Moment in Crankshaft under Flywheel, Resultant Bending Moment in centre crankshaft at TDC position below flywheel given shaft diameter is the total amount of bending moment in the part of the crankshaft under the flywheel, resultant of the bending moments in the horizontal and vertical plane, designed for when the crank is at the top dead center position and subjected to maximum bending moment and no torsional moment. Total Bending Moment in Crankshaft under Flywheel is denoted by Mbr symbol.
How to calculate Resultant Bending Moment in centre crankshaft at TDC position below flywheel given shaft diameter using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Resultant Bending Moment in centre crankshaft at TDC position below flywheel given shaft diameter, enter Diameter of Shaft under Flywheel (ds) & Bending Stress in Shaft Under Flywheel (σbf) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Resultant Bending Moment in centre crankshaft at TDC position below flywheel given shaft diameter calculation can be explained with given input values -> 100.4548 = (pi*0.03174^3*32000000)/32.
