effective mass of rotating car parts
Someone recently posted an Excel spreadsheet on NASIOC that estimates the effective mass of a tire/wheel combination due to rotational inertia. I had always wanted to do that, so I took a look at the spreadsheet. Turns out there was a rather bad assumption in the estimation. Anyhow, I fixed it up, and I have also converted the spreadsheet to estimate the effective mass of an engine flywheel. The spreadsheets are in my locker here:
<http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/use...toloczko|15816> To my surprise, messing with tire/wheel weights does not cause a huge change in effective mass of tire/wheel combos. However, going to a 13.5 lb flywheel (for those of you with 5MT swaps), can make a pretty big change in effective mass, at least in 1st gear. For those of you without Excel, M$ has a free Excel viewer on their website. You can't change the spreadsheet, but you can at least look at the numbers already there.
