Large Deformation and Discontinuous Yield Analysis of Rotating Disks by Abaqus Softwares

Abstract

Rotating discs are used widely as important structural elements in mechanical engineering. In order to obtain an optimal structural design, it is necessary to estimate the angular velocity and the stress distribution of a rotating disc in fully plastic state. So Large deformation and discontinuous yield analysis of rotating disks were analyzed by ABAQUS. Moreover, continuous yield, buckling and bifurcation analysis of rotating disk with discontinuous yield were studied. Then, Minidisk model is analyzed using ABAQUS.
