Time-dependent properties of fiber composites for energy-storage flywheels

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5287358

Time-dependent deformation and time-dependent strength are being characterized for several candidate polymeric composites for flywheels. This presentation highlights the motivation and the philosophy of the characterization adopted by the authors in establishing the ongoing programs at LLL. This overview is intended to provide a basis for inferring the type of enginering data being generated for different aspects of flywheel design. The details of these data can be obtained from the published reports and articles. Two aspects of flywheel design data are addressed: those dealing with time-dependent statistical strength, and those dealing with deformation and strength under time-varying history.
