Abstract

This study investigates the simulation and analysis the structure and material of Flywheel Hybrid Module (FHM) in order to get good performance during the operation. Simulation and Analysis Phase is done to reduce the time and cost consume to run a prototype if using experimental method. Besides, this phase is also to show and demonstrate the eventual real effects and condition of the FHM over time. The simulation and analysis of the FHM is done by Hyper Work Inspire Solid Thinking 2016. The design of the FHM is divided into two main parts which are flywheel and rim. The design of the FHM is follow the correct parameters suggest by the embodiment design phase. In the simulation, angular velocity is applied based on the safety factor consideration and the speed limit of FHM in the real life. The simulation start with initial velocity of 1000 rpm until the maximum velocity of 9000 rpm which is considered the standard speed of a motorcycle in real life. Two material are be tested in this phase which are medium carbon steel and aluminum. As result, Von Mises stress and displacement for every material is analyzed. For aluminum flywheel, the maximum stress and displacement are 154.5 MPa and 0.395 mm while for aluminum rim, the maximum stress and displacement are 1176.0 MPa and 0.699 mm. Centrifugal force also be determined and analyzed for each of velocity applied in the simulation. For aluminum flywheel and rim, the maximum centrifugal force are 94.67 rad m kg/s2 and 258.05 rad m kg/s2. The stress and displacement data can be used to determine the high stress concentration. From the high stress concentration, the fatigue area can be determine and fatigue of the FHM can be predict well. Lastly, the structure and material of the FHM is determined and the best material for FHM is aluminum in order to achieve good performance.
