Abstract
Steady state creep in a anisotropic rotating disc made of Al-SiCp composite having hyperbolically varying thickness has been investigated using Hill’s yield criterion. The creep behavior is supposed to follow the Sherby’s law in present study. The stress and strain distributions are calculated for different combinations of anisotropic constants. The change in the radial stress is not significant while the tangential stress is changed with the change in the material constants. The tangential strain rates are highest at the inner radius of the disc and then decreases towards the outer radius of the disc. The radial strain rate which is compressive in nature becomes tensile in middle of the disc for some specific values of anisotropic constants. The study reveals that the anisotropy has a significant effect on the creep behavior of rotating disc. Thus for the safe design of the rotating disc the effect of anisotropy should be taken care of.
