Item Manufacturing of a Heterogeneous Flywheel on a LENS Apparatus(2001) Morvan, Stephane; Fadel, Georges; Love, James; Keicher, DaveThe design of a 1D gradient component satisfying a particular set of constraints is extended to its manufacturing on a multi-material capable apparatus. The geometry and composition of this flywheel were designed to meet a bi-objective optimum featuring maximum kinetic energy storage and minimal maximum von-Mises stress along its radius. The efforts expanded during the transformation of this design from a computer abstraction into a tangible object are presented. The process-planning step of the manufacturing of this heterogeneous solid, which was dependent on the specifics of a LENS-based Apparatus, required a different approach than that of traditional solids, and proved critical during fabrication.
