A ROTATING DISC IN CONSTANT PURE SHEAR BY S. KUMAR AND C. V. JOGA RAO (Deprtment of Aeronuticl Engineering, Indin Institute of Science, Bnglore-3) Received April 25, 1954 SUMMARY The disc of constnt pure sher cn be obtined by tking 9=, positive constnt, throughout the disc. Substituting this in the eqution of equilibrium (in polr co-ordintes) for symmetricl stress distribution we get homogenous differentil eqution of the first order. On integrting this eqution we get the eqution of the thickness distribution for the required disc. Tking f, h s bsciss nd ordinte, h o nd s prmeter, we plot the forms of different profiles. INTRODUCTION Investigtions hve been mde by severl workers to find the stress distribution in rotting discs of different profiles nd to find profiles corresponding to given distribution of stresses. De Lvl' hs designed rotting disc of uniflirm strength. Biezeno nd Grmmel 2 hve given number of profiles of the rotting discs nd their corresponding stress distributions. Stresses in rotting disc of exponentil thickness profile hve recently been given by Lee. 3 The uthors4 hve recently investigted stresses round circulr hole in rotting discs of hyperbolic nd prbolic profiles. This pper presents new type of disc in which the resulting pure sher stress is constnt nerly everywhere in the disc.

Also, the stress distribution being symmetricl bout the xis of rottion, Tr is zero nd the stresses re not dependent on 0 but on r lone. Since 0.0 = -- 71 the resulting stress is pure sher. If we consider n infinitesimlly smll rdil element, this resulting pure sher will bisect the directions of nd r. In cse of disc of vrible thickness the first of equtions (I) becomes (2) dr (hr r )--- h + pw 2r 2h -r- The second of equtions (1) vnishes ltogether. Now for pure sher there - should be two perpendiculrly cting uniform norml stresses, one compres sive nd the other tensile. So here we tke (3) 0, positive constnt Therefore, eqution (2) becomes o d- --1, -- h or 6 \o' to2r p 2w2r2 h== 0 \ dr ri

We find from the curves in Fig. 1, by giving some suitble vlues to h nd, tht the shpes of the discs obtined from the vlues of in the vicinity of 4 my be suitble for prcticl use. Agin by vrying in (7) we find tht this eqution holds good for ny vlue of, though very high vlues of mke the disc only of theoreticl interest, e.g., if is mde finitely gret number, h hs to tend to zero to mintin the ide of finite nd constnt stress throughout the disc. The drwbck in this disc is tht ny prticulr form of the disc is most suitble only for one ngulr velocity. The uthors thnk Mr. S. M.
