Stress in a Rotating Disc

Stress in rotating disc

Stress in a rotating disc can be calculated as

σ z = ω2r2ρ / 3

= v2ρ / 3

= ( 2 π n / 60)2r2ρ / 3 (1)

where

σ z = stress (Pa, N/m2)

ω = angular velocity (rad/s)

r = radius of disc (m)

ρ = density (kg/m3 )

π = 3.14...

n= revolutions per minute (rpm)

Stress in a Rotating Ring

Stress in rotating ring

Stress in a rotating ring can be calculated as

σ z = ω2ρ ( r 1 2+ r 1 r2+ r2 2 ) / 3                     (2)

where

r 1 = outer radius of ring (m)

r2= inner radius of ring (m)

For a thin ring the equation can be simplified to

σ z = ω2ρ r                    (3)

where

r  = mean radius of ring (m)
