The thickness of a disk of uniform strength at radius r from center of rotation
The general expression for the radial stress of a rotating disk of uniform thickness
The general expression for the tangential stress of a rotating disk of uniform thickness
The maximum values of stresses are at the center, where r = 0, and are equal to each...
