Abstract
Elastic unbalance of a composite flywheel is considered to be caused by different strain character of the rotating rim due to the distributed material density homogeneity or the corrective mass balancing it in the static state. An analysis has been carried out on the effect of elasticity of the rim flywheel on the linear elastic unbalance and its magnitude for an actual composite flywheel has been calculated. A procedure has been developed for the elimination of unbalance using two corrective masses. The problem of angular unbalance of a rim flywheel has also been considered. The finite element method has been used for computation.
