Limit angular velocities of variable thickness rotating disks

2002-06-01
Elastic and plastic limit angular velocities are calculated for rotating disks of variable thickness in power function form. Analytical solution is obtained and used to calculate elastic limit angular velocities of variable thickness rotating annular disks and annular disks with rigid inclusion. An efficient numerical solution procedure is designed and used to obtain the elastic limit angular velocities of variable thickness rotating solid disks. Von Mises yield criterion and its flow rule is used to estimate plastic limit angular velocities. Both linear and nonlinear hardening material behaviors are treated numerically. The results are verified by comparing with those of uniform thickness rotating solid disks available in the literature. Elastic and plastic limit angular velocities are found to increase with the reduction of the disk thickness at the edge as well as the reduction in the disk mass due to the shape of the profile.

Elastic-plastic deformation of a rotating solid disk of exponentially varying thickness
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2002-07-01)
The elastic-plastic deformation of a rotating solid disk of variable thickness in exponential form is investigated using Tresca's yield criterion, its associated flow rule and linear strain hardening. An analytical solution is obtained and numerical results are presented for different values of the geometric parameters. In the limiting case of uniform thickness the solution reduces to Garner's solution.
Von mises yield criterion and nonlinearly hardening variable thickness rotating annular disks with rigid inclusion
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2002-09-01)
A computational model is developed to investigate inelastic deformations of variable thickness rotating annular disks mounted on rigid shafts. The von Mises yield condition and its flow rule are combined with Swift's hardening law to simulate nonlinear hardening material behavior. An efficient numerical solution procedure is designed and used throughout to handle the nonlinearities associated with the von Mises yield condition and the boundary condition at the shaft-annular disk interface. The results of th...
A Class of Nonisothermal Variable Thickness Rotating Disk Problems Solved by Hypergeometric Functions
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2005-06-01)
Exact solutions for nonisothermal variable thickness rotating disks represented by different thickness profiles are obtained under plane stress assumption. The solutions are based on Tresca's yield criterion, its associated flow rule and linear strain hardening material behavior. Five different plastic regimes governed by different mathematical forms of the yield criterion are considered for each thickness profile. A displacement formulation is used and the resulting differential equations for the elastic a...
On the rotating elastic-plastic solid disks of variable thickness having concave profiles
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2002-07-01)
In this paper, an analytical solution for the elastic-plastic stress distribution in rotating variable thickness solid disks is presented. The analysis is based on Tresca's yield criterion, its associated flow rule and linear strain hardening material behavior. It is shown that depending on the shape of the disk profile, the radial stress in the central region may exceed the circumferential stress. The plastic zone which develops away from the axis of the disk consists of three annular regions governed by d...
