Gupta, S. K.; Sharma, Sanjeev; Pathak, Sonia Creep transition in a thin rotating disc having variable thickness and variable density. (English) Zbl 1009.74012 Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 31, No. 10, 1235-1248 (2000). Summary: By using Seth’s transition theory, we calculate creep stresses and strain rates for a thin rotating disc with variable thickness and variable density. Results are discussed and depicted graphically. It is shown that a rotating disc whose density and thickness ratio decrease radially, is on the safer side of the design in comparison to a flat disc having variable density.
