A flywheel is attached to an engine that has a sinusoid Torque amplitude of 250N*m. The
car has differential drive gear ratio of 2:1 to and gear ratios for gears first through sixth of
3:1,2.07:1,1.43:1,1:1,0.84:1, and 0.56:1 respectively. (The total gear ratio G is the product
of the differential gear ratio and the gear ratio of the current gear you are in). The moment
of inertia of the rotational components of the car (excluding the flywheel) is approximated
by J=J0(1+0.04+0.0025G2)kg*m2, where J0=49kg*m2. Approximate frictional
damping in the car (including engine, transmission) is B=7N*mrads.
a. Assume the vehicle has no flywheel and is cruising in first gear at 2000 rpm (living wild).
Determine the fluctuation in angular velocity of the wheels. ANS: =0.0215
b. Determine the fluctuation in angular velocity of the wheels if in sixth gear at 2000 rpm .
c. Determine the mass moment of inertia of flywheel required to reduce angular velocity
fluctuation in half when the vehicle moves in sixth gear.
d. Choose the mass and dimensions of the steel flywheels to obtain the desired MOI.
(assume the material is steel with density of 8000kgm3 and a thickness of 5 cm )
A flywheel is attached to an engine that has a
