Design and optimization of material distribution and geometry for high performance flywheel
3 weeks ago
Title:
Design and optimization of material distribution and geometry for high performance flywheel
Research area and project description:
This project is part of a bigger project lunched between Aarhus University and 3 industrial partners, aiming at developing a new generation of hybrid fibre composite flywheel. During operation flywheels experience loading originating from the centrifugal forces leading to circumferential and radial stresses.
The two major tasks for the PhD project are:
1) Use hybrid fibres to optimally distribute load, stresses, and mass, so that the overall performance of the flywheel will be maximized under relevant constraints, e.g. related to feasibility of manufacturing.
2) Existing cylindrical shaped flywheels do not reflect the shape needed to maximize rotor performance in the actual operating conditions. In contrast, they are easy to manufacture. The second task is therefore to design a geometry of the flywheel that will increase performance, while still being manufacturable with existing hardware available from the project partners.
The PhD project will be a mixture of numerical, theoretical, and experimental approaches incorporating multiple, multisectorial stakeholders. Such environment will be both vibrant and stimulating giving you a chance to expand your knowledge and soft skills beyond academic.
