(a)For punching operation, requirement of power: Maximum shear force=Sut*Area =471238.9 N Energy required per stroke=4712.389 Nm Total energy required per minute=117809.72 Nm Power of Motor=2181.66 W (b)Energy stored in flywheel: =4241.15 Nm Out of this,5% is supplied by arms and hub, and 95% by rim mr=185.791 kg (c)mr=pi*Dm*t*b*rho For rectangular rim, b=2t=0.114 m and t=0.057 m Checking for stresses, St=rho*V^2=1.57Mpa, which is less than 6Mpa, hence safe.
