Abstract
An analysis is given of the kinetic energy storage capacity of anisotropic flywheels. Using a uniform strain failure criteria, the optimal shapes of flywheels are determined as a function of the degree of anisotropy. Within this spectrum of shapes, practical design considerations are shown to favor the case where there is equal reinforcement in the radial and circumferen tial directions. Comparisons are made between the present solid-wheel-type design and the ring design.
