Abstract The analysis previously given for stress in rotating disks having central holes and under steady-state creep conditions is extended to cases where the radial and tangential stresses are equal over all or a portion of the disk, both constant and variable-thickness cases being considered. In addition, the solid rotating disk and the long rotating solid cylinder are treated, peak stresses above the elastic values being found under certain conditions. Charts are presented for determining ratios σtm/σtav between peak stress and average stress, for various diameter ratios, disk contours, and values of n in the power-function stress-creep rate relation. These indicate somewhat lower ratios of peak to average stress for the variable-thickness disks. Based on the theoretical results, curves of stress distribution are also worked out for several typical cases.

The stress distribution and steady-state response of a rotating damped annular disk of variable thickness are determined by means of the matrix method. The equation of equilibrium and the equations for the flexural vibration of the rotating disk are written as a respective coupled set of first-order differential equations by use of the matrices of the disk. The elements of the matrices are calculated by numerical integration of the equations, and the stress components and the driving-point impedance and force transmissibility of the disk are obtained by using these elements. The method is applied to free-clamped rotating disks with linearly, exponentially, and hyperbolically varying thickness driven by a harmonic force at the free outer edge, and the effects of the angular velocity and the variable thickness are studied.

Abstract The present study reports the linear elastic analysis of variable thickness functionally graded rotating disks. Disk material is graded radially by varying the volume fraction ratios of the constituent components. Three types of distribution laws, namely power law, exponential law and Mori–Tanaka scheme are considered on a concave thickness profile rotating disk, and the resulting deformation and stresses are evaluated for clamped-free boundary condition. The investigation is carried out using element based grading of material properties on the discretized elements. The effect of grading on deformation and stresses is investigated for each type of material distribution law. Further, a comparison is made between different types of distributions. The results obtained show that in a rotating disk, the deformation and stress fields can be controlled by the distribution law and grading parameter n of the volume fraction ratio.

Plasticity analysis for orthogonal indentation of plastic rigid material by an acute angled wedge suggests that the faces of the wedge will be subjected to uniformly distributed pressure and tangential stresses over the contact length. In the present work the stress distribution at the tip of an infinitely deep wedges obtained when the wedge is subjected to such a stress distribution. The theoretical results are compared with photoelastic experiments and good agreement is achieved.

AbstractThe nanofluids owing to their alluring attributes like enhanced thermal conductivity and better heat transfer characteristics have a vast variety of applications ranging from space technology to nuclear reactors etc. The present study highlights the Ostwald-de-Waele nanofluid flow past a rotating disk of variable thickness in a porous medium with a melting heat transfer phenomenon. The surface catalyzed reaction is added to the homogeneous-heterogeneous reaction that triggers the rate of the chemical reaction. The added feature of the variable thermal conductivity and the viscosity instead of their constant values also boosts the novelty of the undertaken problem. The modeled problem is erected in the form of a system of partial differential equations. Engaging similarity transformation, the set of ordinary differential equations are obtained. The coupled equations are numerically solved by using the bvp4c built-in MATLAB function. The drag coefficient and Nusselt number are plotted for arising parameters. The results revealed that increasing surface catalyzed parameter causes a decline in thermal profile more efficiently. Further, the power-law index is more influential than the variable thickness disk index. The numerical results show that variations in dimensionless thickness coefficient do not make any effect. However, increasing power-law index causing an upsurge in radial, axial, tangential, velocities, and thermal profile.

The Stress Distribution in the Connection of the Spherical Shell and the Opening Nozzle Is Very Complex. Sharp-Angled Transition and Round Transition Are Used Respectively in the Connection in the Light of the Spherical Shell with the Small Opening and the Large One. the Influence of the Two Connecting Forms on Stress Distribution Is Analyzed by Establishing Finite Element Model and Solving it. the Result Shows there Is Obvious Stress Concentration in the Connection. Round Transition Can Reduce the Maximum Stress in Comparison with Sharp-Angled Transition in both Cases of the Small Opening and the Large Opening, Mainly Reducing the Bending Stress and the Peak Stress, but Not the Membrane Stress. the Effect of Round Transition on Reducing Stress Was Not Significant. so Sharp-Angled Transition Should Be Adopted in the Connection when a Finite Element Model Is Built for Simplification in the Future.

This paper proposes a contactless vibration testing system for rotating disks based on an impulse response excited by a laser ablation. High power YAG pulse laser is used in this system for producing an ideal impulse force on structural surface without contact. The contactless vibration testing system is composed of a YAG laser, laser Doppler vibrometer and spectrum analyzer. This system makes it possible to measure vibration characteristics of structures under operation, such as vibration measurement of a rotating disk. The effectiveness of this system is confirmed by experimental and theoretical analyses. In this paper, a platter of hard disk drive is employed as an experimental object. Vibration characteristics of a rotating and non-rotating platter are measured and compared with the results of theoretical analysis.

Abstract The resonant conditions for traveling waves in rotating disks are derived. The nonlinear resonant spectrum of a rotating disk is computed from the resonant conditions. Such a resonant spectrum is useful for the disk drive industry to determine the range of operational rotation speed. The resonant wave motions for linear and nonlinear, rotating disks are simulated numerically for a 3.5-inch diameter computer memory disk.

The behavior of thermo-mechanical stresses in functionally graded axisymmetric rotating hollow disks with variable thickness is analyzed. The material is assumed to be functionally graded in the radial direction. First, a two-dimensional axisymmetric model of the functionally graded rotating disk is developed using the finite element method. Exact solutions for stresses are then obtained assuming that the plane theory of elasticity holds. These solutions are in accordance with finite element ones, thus showing the validity of the assumption. Finally, in order to reduce the maximum equivalent stress along the radius, the optimization of the material distribution is addressed. To avoid subsequent finite element simulations in the optimization process, which can be computationally demanding, a nonlinear constrained optimization problem is proposed, for which the solution is obtained numerically by the sequential quadratic programming method, showing prominent results in terms of equivalent stress uniformity.

The extraction with higher cutting height for extra-thick seam is the new research orientation in longwall caving technology. Due to the increase of top coal thickness and of cutting height which leads to the change of cutting/caving height ratio, the rule of roof failure (including top coal caving) and the distribution of stress around the face alter correspondingly. This paper is based on the geological conditions of face 8102 of Tashan-DaTong mine, employing the numerical model by UDEC2D code, analysing the effect of cutting/caving height ratio on the law of stress distribution ahead of the face. When the ratio of cutting/caving height decreases and the cutting height increases, the results of the research have shown that: (i)- peak stress redistributes further ahead of the face and its value manifestly drops; (ii)- the plastic deformation ahead of face significant increases and the zone of plastic strain also expands. It is therefore concluded that the variation of cutting/caving height ratio results in the redistribution of roof pressure, which contributes to the control of roof failure and face stability.

A rotating disk with varying thickness and inhomogeneity, and subjected to a steady, inhomogeneous temperature field is analyzed. To handle the arbitrary profile, the disk is discretized into a series of uniform annular disks possessing constant material properties and then solved by the step-reduction method. Analytic expressions for thermoelastic stresses are given, and based on these results, the formulation is extended to include the calculation of shrink fit, the solving of the inverse problem for equistrength rotating disks, and the computations of plastic stresses and creep at elevated temperatures.
