Elastic Stresses of Rotating Transversely Isotropic Fiber Reinforced Composite Cylinders

Abstract

In this study, rotating long thick-walled fiber reinforced composite cylinders with closed ends are investigated within the elastic limits by using analytical methods. Hoffman yield criteria is employed to the elastic problem to find limit angular velocities. Composite body of the cylinders are consisting of isotropic matrix and transversely isotropic fibers which are unidirectionally aligned in circumferential direction. Alterations on the elastic stress and displacement fields are examined by taking various fiber volume fraction and wall thickness values. Obtained results emphasized that both parameters highly influence the distributions of stress, displacement and commencement of the yielding.
