In a punching press, the requirement is to punch 40 mm diameter holes in a plate having a thickness of 15 mm. The rate at which the holes should be punched is 30 holes/min. Energy requirement is of 6 N-m per mm2 of sheared area. If the punching takes time 1/10 of a second and the speed of the flywheel varies from 160 to 140 rpm, determine the mass of the flywheel having radius of gyration of 1 m.

Turning Moment Diagrams and Flywheel topics include: Energy fluctuation, flywheel and its energy storage, coefficient of speed and energy fluctuation, turning moment diagram for single and multi cylinder engine and also four stroke cycle combustion engine. A turning moment diagram, also known as a crank effort diagram, is a graphical representation of the relationship between the turning moment and the crank angle at various crank positions. It can be used to design a flywheel for an engine to minimize crank speed variance during each cycle.  A flywheel is a mechanical device that stores... Show more
