Abstract


This paper presents “COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FLYWHEEL UNDER CONVENTIONAL AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS”. Our objective is to demonstrate the application of composites over conventional materials like steel. Conventional engineering materials like steel has high density due to which the inertia of the components are more. Especially during rotations the forces are more due to higher mass. hence, this will give rise to more vibrations due to high imbalance force. So this can be reduced by using composite materials over conventional materials whose density is less and has higher strength to weight ratio.
