The functions of a flywheel in an automobile engine are given below: #1. Engine Balance. Because the piston is offset from the center of crankshaft vibration and wobble, this is also because each piston fires at a different angle. The function of the Flywheel in this situation is to suppress the side-to-side motion.
The inner and outer radius of the flywheel are, respectively, 0.1 m and 0.4 m. Figs. 2 and 3, depict the radial and tangential stress distribution in the flywheel for the angular velocity of 3000 rpm. As can be observed in Fig. 2, the radial stress at = 0.1 m and = 0.4 m is zero, while the maximum radial stress happens at approximately = 0.2 m ...
