Abstract

We have presented in this work, a computer-aided-design software for flywheels using object-oriented programming approach of Visual Basic. The various configurations of flywheels (rimmed or solid) formed the basis for the development of the software. The software's graphical features were used to give a visual interpretation of the solutions. The software's effectiveness was tested on a number of numerical examples, some of which are outlined in this work.
