The flywheel development program is comprised of several principal thrust areas designed to correlate fibre materials research with rotor design and system application. These areas include: (i) flywheel hybrid power train design and optimization; (ii) rotor design-concept and materials application assessments; (iii) flywheel rotor stress analysis and design; (iv) fibre composite material manufacture; (v) ASTM standard materials testing; (vi) hydroburst testing of ring-type component specimens; (vii) filament wound ring residual stress analyses and (viii) development of a dynamic testing facility. The multi-thrust approach allows for several inter-correlation studies (eg. material properties vs. manufacture technique) as well as an overall iterative design/manufacture/test program. The work is presented as a series of three papers: the first defines the physical requirements of an energy storage unit in a diesel-flywheel urban bus application; the second provides an assessment and design of fibre composite rotors suitable for the defined application and paper three outlines the composite materials manufacture and testing program being executed to provide the necessary rotor design and development data base.
