Stresses built up in a rotating disk
I am trying to analyze the stresses built up in in rotating disk. This disk is not subjected to any external loading. Only forces applied is centrifugal forces due to rotation.
When I try to model the problem using Structural Mechanics>Solid Mechanics (solid) from COMSOL 4.2 it allows me to enter a linear velocity as a Prescribed Velocity. But I cant enter the rotational or angular speed.
Can I implement this problem in COMSOL using this Prescribed Velocity functionality?or Is there any other way to analyze the stresses in this rotating disk.?
Thank You Very Much.

Hi Shehan,
The most efficient way to calculate the stresses due to a steady-state centrifugal load is through a body load = density x omega^2 x radius. You don’t need to prescribe velocity in that case.

Re: Stresses built up in a rotating disk
Thanks Nagi for your quick reply. I did the simulation that way and got the results.
I applied the body load in the r direction (In cylindrical coordinate system). What I am not sure here is whether I should applied the loads in all three direction.
Thanks.

Re: Stresses built up in a rotating disk
If you apply the load in a cylindrical coordinate system aligned with the axis of rotation then you only need to apply a force in the radial direction (as you did).
