Stresses in Rotation Bodies

Stress in disc or ring bodies

Rotation Disc

Stress in a rotation disc can be expressed as

σz = ω2 r2 ρ / 3

   = v2 ρ / 3       (1)

where

σz = stress (N/m2)

ω = angular velocity (rad/s)

r = radius of disc (m)

ρ = density (kg/m3)

Rotation Ring

Stress in a rotation ring can be expressed as

σz = ω2 ρ ( r12 + r1 r2 + r22) / 3   (2)

where

r1 = outer radius of ring (m)

r2 = inner radius of ring (m)
