22.1. INTRODUCTION

The stress developed due to rotation in a thin cylinder has already been derived in
article 17.12 of chapter 17. In that article it has been assumed that hoop stress (or circumfer-
ential stress) is uniform in thin cylinder and is given by

0 = p x z x r2 or p x o2
co

where co = Angular speed of rotation of thin cylinder

r = Mean radius of cylinder

p = Density of material of the cylinder and
v - Tangential velocity of cylinder = co x r

a = Hoop stress in the thin cylinder.

This chapter deals with the study of stresses developed due to rotation in circular discs
and cylinders. The machine members of the rotating type and bodies like circular discs, cylin-
ders, flywheels etc. invariably rotate at high speeds. Due to rotation, these members are
subjected to centrifugal forces. The stresses are set up in the material of these members due to

centrifugal forces.

Also in case of thin disc, the stress in axial direction is zero. But in case of thick disc (or

long cylinder) the stress in axial direction (i.e., longitudinal direction) will not be zero.

22.2. EXPRESSION FOR STRESSES IN A ROTATING THIN DISC

In case of thin disc, only two stresses namely circumferential and radial stresses are

existing.

A thin disc of inner radius r and outer radius r2 rotating about its axis is shown in
i

Fig. 22.1.

VConsider an element ABCD of the disc at a radius of radial width dr and thickness T.

Let the element subtends an angle d(i at the centre.

Let a = Radial stress on the face AB,

a + do = Radial stress on the face CD,
r r

a - Circumferential stress on faces BC and AD.
C

The forces due to these stresses along with centrifugal force acting on the element are

shown on the enlarged view of the element.

VNow consider the equilibrium of the element ABCD of radius radial width ‘dr’ and

Vthickness subtending an angle dd at the centre as shown in Fig. 22.1.

22.4.1. Expression for Circumferential and Radial Stresses in a Solid Cylinder.

For a solid cylinder, at the centre r = 0, the stresses will become infinite. But the stresses

cannot be infinite at the centre. Hence in equations (22.17) and (22.18), the constant C should

be C Hence

Sign Convention. The stress across the cross-section will be tensile or compressive

according to the following conventions :

M1. The bending moment will be positive if it increases the curvature of the beam and

negative if it decreases the curvature. (Increase of curvature of beam will decrease the radius

of curvature).

y2. The distance is positive if it is measured from the centroidal axis towards the

convex side of beam, and negative when measured towards the concave side (or towards the

centre of curvature).

3. The positive stress means tensile stress, whereas negative stress means compressive

stress.
