Stress Distributions in Nonsymmetric Rotating Rays

Abstract
The centrifugal forces acting upon a rotating ray will produce longitudinal stresses along the ray. If the ray is not symmetric, these stresses will result not only in a longitudinal force, but also in a bending moment. A technique for finding the stress distribution in this case is developed and illustrated by means of simple examples. The limiting elastic speed and the maximum speed before large-scale plastic deformation commences are computed. An indication is given of how similar methods may be used to analyze a rotating disk with no plane of symmetry perpendicular to the axis.
