FEM Analysis of Flywheel Used for Punching Press Operation

ABSTRACT :Flywheel is basically a energy storing device The current paper is focused on the analytical design of flywheel & FEM analysis flywheel used in Press. Different types of forces acting on flywheel & design parameters has taken into consideration for optimizing design of flywheel..In present investigation more focus is given to energy storing capacity of flywheel during a cycle of mechanical system, flywheel is designed & analyzed .During this we study different parameters like material stress acting on flywheel , efficiency, cost of flywheel ,output, energy storing capacity & compare these parameters with existing flywheel.
