Critical speeds for carbon/epoxy composite rotors in spacecraft energy storage applications

A numerical investigation to optimize the carbon/epoxy multi layer composite rotor is performed for the spacecraft energy storage application. A high-speed double and triple layer rotor design is proposed and different composite materials are tested to achieve the most suitable recipe. First, analyt...
