Elastic stress analysis of rotating converging conical disks subjected to thermal load and having variable density along the radius (original) (raw)

This research addresses the elastic stress analysis of rotating converging conical disks subjected to thermal loads with variable density along the radius. By presenting general relations for the stress and strain states under elastic conditions, the study importantly contrasts its analytical solutions against finite element analysis (FEA) results, demonstrating substantial advantages in calculation speed and flexibility. Such advancements in stress evaluation are crucial for applications involving turbine rotors and other mechanical components, indicating a significant improvement over existing analytical-numerical methods.
