The dynamics of spinning discs has been studied by many investigators because of their commercial use as saw blades, turbine wheels and modern high speed computer storage discs. Lamb and Southwell [l] examined the problem of the completely free circular plate spinning about its cylindrical axis with a constant angular velocity. As a sequel to this work, Southwell [2] analyzed the problem of a circular disc which is clamped at its centre, is free at its outer edge and is rotating with a constant angular velocity. These two investigations carried out about six decades ago and a corroboration of these works by Prescott [3] are probably the earliest and the most frequently cited work on vibrations of spinning discs. Since then, there have been several analytical and experimental studies on isotropic, polar orthotropic and variable thickness spinning discs. On the other hand, there are only a few investigations reported in the literature on vibrations of spinning annular plates [4-lo] and in fact all of these have been carried out only during the last few years. Loh and Carney [4,5] and Dyka and Carney [6] have presented a general solution by adopting the Frobenius method for determining the natural frequencies of spinning annular plates reinforced with surrounding edge beams at the inner and outer edges. In the remaining four investigations [7-lo], some form of finite element method has been employed for plates with free outer and clamped inner edges. Numerical results in all this work are confined to those for some typical hole ratios and either a particular angular speed or some specific values of spinning parameter (R”yhb”/D). In the work reported here, the problem of vibrations of spinning annular plates has been analyzed in detail by the Rayleigh-Ritz method for eight different combination of boundary conditions. Accurate estimates of eigenfrequencies corresponding to the axisymmetric mode as well as the modes with one and two nodal diameters have been obtained for various values of hole sizes and for various values of the non-dimensional spinning parameter (R2rh64/D). The numerical results are presented in the form of tables and graphs for direct use by design engineers. A thin annular plate of constant thickness h with a and b as the radii of the inner and outer edges, respectively, is considered. It is assumed that the material of the plate is homogeneous and isotropic and the plate is rotating about its cylindrical axis with a constant angular velocity R (radians per second). The influence of rotation is to induce stresses which are assumed to be distributed symmetrically about the axis of rotation. These stresses in the absence of any in-plane pressure at the inner and outer edges are given by b2 - r7 - a2b’/r2], gr = [(3 + ~)/8]yf?*[a’+ il! u,j =[(3+v)/8]~~2[a’+bZ-;1+3~)/(3+v)r’+a’b2/r2], in which material.

in which So0 = 1, Son = 0 for n # 0 and D =Eh3/12(1 -v*) is the flexural rigidity of the plate. The total potential (V + U - T) is minimized by the Rayleigh-Ritz method to obtain relevant characteristic equations for the determination of eigenfrequencies (w2rhb4/D) for specified values of spinning parameter (0*rhb4/D). In the method, the mode shape W was expressed as a linear combination of simple least order polynomials in r [ 1 l] satisfying relevant geometric boundary conditions. For large values of the hole size, the quantities V, U and T were modified prior to the application of the Rayleigh-Ritz method by the transformations given earlier in reference [l l] for the axisymmetric mode and in reference [12] for the asymmetric modes. The number of terms used in the Rayleigh-Ritz method was up to five. In the computations, the parameter a/b was varied from O-1 to O-9 in steps of 0.2. The Poisson’s ratio v was fixed at 0.3. All computations were carried out with double precision arithmetic (about 16 significant digits) on an IBM 370/168 digital computer at the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt. Estimates of the frequency parameter ((2wb2/h) a) arepresented in Table 1 for several different values of the non-dimensional spinning parameter (LJ2rhb4/D). The TABLE

variation of the eigenvalue parameter (w*+~~/D) with the spinning parameter (0’$zb4/D) is shown in Figures 1 and 2 for some typical values of hole sizes and for different modes. The data in these figures suggest that w2 varies more or less linearly with 0’ in the form W2= I& + rnf12.
(7)
w,~in equation (7) corresponds to the frequency of the stationary plate (0 = 0) and m is a constant depending on the flexural mode, the value of a/b and the boundary condition. Approximate values of m can be calculated by using the data available in Table 1. The accuracy of the formula (7) improves with increasing values of the hole size but the formula suffers from inaccuracy when R tends to infinity. However, for finite values of 0 equation (7) yields reasonably accurate frequencies for all hole sizes and for all flexural modes. This is clearly exhibited by the data presented in Table 2 where the frequencies reported by Ginesu et al. [lo] for a steel plate rotating at 0 = 400 radians/s are compared with the corresponding frequencies obtained by using equation (7). Ginesu er al. [lo] employed the finite element program EACO for an annular plate (u/b = 0.5) with free outer and clamped inner edges. The constant m in equation (7) was numerically evaluated at each stage from computed values of 02yhb4/D by varying the parameter R2yhb4/D from 0 to 250 in steps of 25. The average value of m thus obtained was used in equation (7). TABLE

The strain energy component V can be neglected if it is assumed that the plate is very thin and the rotation is very rapid. The solution of the resulting variational problem S( U - T) = 0 then yields the ratio cr = u2/R2. The values of this ratio (Yare presented in Table 3. The value of o calculated for an annular plate by using Q (instead of m) in equation (7) for a finite R would be a lower bound to the true eigenfrequency.

1. C = clamped, S = simply supported, F = free; the first letter denotes the edge support conditions at the outer edge (r = b). 2. n = number of nodal diameters. 3. These solutions are found to be highly sensitive to the number of terms used in the Rayleigh-Ritz method. They have been obtained here by taking five terms in the method.
