2. Variable thickness disc (1/2)
m.gola
2008
Turbine discs seldom are made flat. They are made thicker towards
the centre, and are tapered to a smaller thickness toward the
periphery. This is to avoid the pronounced stress concentrations in
the central part.
a
ol
When a disc has a variable thickness b=b(r), the radial equilibrium
equation is:
.g

This is exactly integrable, together with
uz
compatibility and material equations, in
very few cases: the hyperbolic disc, the
m
a
one from Stodola or the one from J. P. den Hartog, Advanced
ol
Strength of Materials, Mc Graw-Hill, 1952
.g
For the case called “constant stress” or “uniform strength” solution,
let us quote from J.P. den Hartog, page 65:
m
In view of the considerable complications in the design of flat or
hyperbolic rotating disks, it is remarkable that a simple solution has
io
been found to the question of designing the thickness variation t(r)
of a disk so as to make its stresses equal over the entire area. The
uz
solution was found, about 1900, by engineers of the De Laval
Company in Sweden and was first published in Stodola famous book

The desired stress field will have

1) a=0 and 2) r=constant 3) c=constant .

Condition 2) implies that the disc is solid: otherwise, stress r
m
would be zero at the inner rim of a hole and should be zero over
the whole disc. io
Which proves contradictory, as shown by the equilibrium
uz
equation: a zero r would imply a non-constant c.

For multidisk designs the constructional complications are so

severe that disks with a central hole are usually applied. Then a
hyperbolic disk is better than a flat one. Flat discs are used for

m
This Section aims at exploring which is the best shape to be given to a certain
rotating disc.
The next slide compares the disc examined so far with another one having the
same bore (inner) and rim (outer) diameter, the same total disc mass ( 33,95 kg)
a
but a different thickness distribution:
ol
• the rim is kept at the same geometry in width (constrained by blade axial width)
and in thickness
.g
• the web and the hub are given the same thickness at 7,58 mm
The stress diagrams show that it is a better idea to have a thicker hub, i.e. having
more mass at a lower radius then subjected to lower centrifugal forces and to
m
lower temperatures, reduces the maximum tensile stress, which is the
circumferential (or “hoop”) stress c at the inner radius, by the following amounts:
io
• thermal (gradient) stresses: 230 vs. 316 MPa, i.e. -86 MPa Total: 815 MPa
• disc only stresses: 173 vs. 218 MPa, i.e. -45 MPa vs. 1048 MPa, i.e.
uz
• blades & slots only stresses: 412 vs. 514 MPa, i.e. -102 MPa -233 MPa
The rationale for a thick hub is then that if more mass, and the resulting cross-
m
section area, is placed at lower radii, then it is less stressed by centrifugal forces;
it has lower circumferential stress due to its own mass and can provide an amount
of strength to take the radial pull of web, rim and blades (and connecting slots).

In summary, keeping the same inner radius but moving some mass toward the
centre reduces all stresses at the inner radius, “thermal”, “disc mass” and “blades &
slots mass” for three reasons:
• first - because it simply adds more area where stresses are
a
highest, i.e. at the inner radius with an important effect on
ol
maximum thermal stress, reduced from c=316 to c=230 MPa,
and on “blades & slots” stress, c=514 to c=412 MPa
.g
• second - moving mass at lower radii implies less centrifugal force
separating the “half disc” (5,182105 N in the b=20 mm hub
m
case vs. 5,404105 N with uniform thickness b=7,58 mm).
• third - at equal total volume and mass, the diametral cross-section
io
area increases when we move the mass toward lower radii (here:
2084 mm2 vs. 1970 mm2), a further advantage for c because the
uz
“half disc” sum of all centrifugal forces is spread on a larger area.
The combined effect of all these elements produces the noted c reduction from

The semi-empirical criterion for design to burst was proposed by
.g
Robinson (1944)*, and is still used today as a rule-of-the-thumb for
design to burst. It assumes that the disk will burst when the
m
average hoop nominal stress c,m equals the tensile strength of the

It is a very elementary example of plastic limit-state design.

further wrote that while supporting the plastic design method for rotating
ol
discs there was another mode of failure which was becoming of
importance, namely, failure by fatigue due to cycles of stress associated
.g
with speed changes. The possibility of fatigue failure was obviously greater
in applications where frequent stopping and starting and variations of
m
speed occurred. Each sequence start-runstop provided one cycle of stress
with, possibly, cycles of smaller amplitude superimposed due, for example,
to speed changes from “cruise” or “idle” to maximum power.
io
In aircraft gas-turbines, particularly, high working stresses were used with
uz
high-strength alloy steels which did not have a proportionally high fatigue
limit. Consequently, a design which was safe for operation at steady speed
(whether the design be based on elastic or plastic considerations) might
m
have a fatigue life less than the probable number of cycles in its operating
life.

of unnecessary stress raisers. It was worth noting that those might be fully
operative since at running speed the stresses would normally be less than
ol
the elastic limit.
.g
It was suggested that when fatigue was worthy of consideration a wise
procedure would be to use the plastic analysis method to design the profile
of the disc and then to calculate the elastic stress distribution. The elastic
m
stress distribution should be examined in the light of fatigue data and
operating experience. Finally, the detail design should be critically

examined for stress raisers, particular attention being paid to changes of
