a02.pdf 1]. A flywheel is press fitted on to a tubular shaft. The shaft inner diameter is 25 mm and
outer diameter 50 mm . The flywheel is a cylindrical disk with an inner diameter of 50 mm ,
an outer diameter of 300 mm , and the flywheel thickness is 35 mm . Both the shaft and
flywheel are made of aluminum alloy AA2014 of density, =2800kgm3. Find the speed
at which the flywheel will start to slide if the coefficient of friction between the shaft and
flywheel is 0.14 and press-fit pressure is 30 MPa . The rotational acceleration (=deldelt) is
proportional to the angular speed and its maximum value should be within 0.2.[3

Additional theory and Hints: This problem would require a calculation of initial torque
based on flywheel mass moment of Inertia (J).J is given by J=mado2-di28 where do and
di are outer and inner diameters of the flywheel and ma is the mass of the flywheel. The
initial torque is given by T=J=Jdeldelt where is the angular acceleration and is
the angular velocity. This torque value would be a function of unknown angular velocity,
and must be equal to the instantaneous torque value developed by friction at the flywheel
and shaft interface, also a function of angular velocity. Also, note that as the shaft rotates
with increasing angular velocity, the resulting interference (or contact pressure) decreases.
This instantaneous contact pressure value is the initial press fit pressure minus the
instantaneous radial stress evaluated at the flywheel and shaft interface where the
instantaneous radial stress should be a function of unknown angular velocity and other
known parameters.
