VIF, MR Fluid, Smart MaterialAbstract
Due to the variation of the moment of inertia, flywheels, a well-known mechanical system, can balance the energy output by preventing fluctuations in rotational speed. Examples of prevalent applications are the engine with internal combustion and industrial apparatus. A flywheel with a considerable moment of inertia is mandatory to accomplish reduced angular velocity variations. A flywheel with a variable moment of inertia can be recommended for specific applications to obtain sustainable energy savings. Variations in the masses' radii from the flywheel axis can yield the concept of true inertia. Still, the control techniques for the variable inertial flywheel (VIF) are relatively complex. This paper critically analyses the available literature on VIF control methods and focuses on their application.
