Abstract
A procedure for designing and filament winding thick glass and carbon fiber reinforced elastomeric matrix composite flywheels is presented. The manufacturing method uses solvent dilution to lower viscosity of the resin, followed by flashing of the solvent with heated air before the tow is placed on the mandrel. The material is continuously in-situ cured on the mandrel to enable the rapid manufacture of high quality rings to near net-shape. Radial deposition rates of up to 3.23 cm/hr have been achieved to-date. Measured mechanical properties are shown to satisfy requirements for the theoretical fail-safe flywheel rotor design defined in this investigation.
