Abstract--The governing equations for a class of axisymmetric problems under large elastic deformation, concerned with a circular rubber disk with body force as well as non-uniform initial thickness, are formulated in terms of two coupled first-order ordinary differential equations with explicit derivatives. The following two problems subjected to different boundary conditions are solved: (a) Rotating disks with uniform initial thickness (13) Circular disks with non-uniform initial thickness under axisymmetric stretching at the outer boundary. In problem (b), the rubber disk whose initial thickness contour is ho = cr~ (where c and n are any constantsk or whose final thickness is a constant, is considered. Highly elastic materials with a Mooney strain-energy function are used for numerical calculations.
INTRODUCTION
Tim THEORYof large elastic deformations and non-linear continuum mechanics has been presented by Green and Adkins [1]. The strain distribution around a hole in a highly elastic sheet under axisymmetric deformation has been solved by Rivlin and Thomas [2]. The strain concentration for the same problem has been obtained by Yang [3] who introduced a phase plane integration method. In this paper, the body force of the disk, as well as the non-uniform initial thickness, is considered. The governing equations are formulated in terms of two coupled ordinary differential equations. The solutions can be obtained by any standard numerical integration method. Two problems are solved in this paper: (a) a disk rotating about its axis of symmetry with uniform initial thickness and an angular velocity co and (b) a circular disk with non-uniform initial thickness under axisymmetric stretching at the outer boundary. These problems are solved for the following cases: (i) a solid circular disk (ii) a circular disk with a concentric circular rigid inclusion and (iii) a circular disk with a concentric hole. In problem (b), an axisymmetric follower load is applied at the boundary of the disk. The follower load is one specified at a point of the disk and identified by its undeformed position. For purposes of illustration, numerical solutions subjected to the following conditions are presented in this paper. In problem (a)~ a uniform initial thickness disk is considered. The ratio of D~, the diameter of the hole or rigid inclusion to Do, the diameter of the disk, is 0"2. In problem (b), a disk with the thickness variation parameter n = - 1 and with a uniform final deformed thickness is considered. Furthermore, the ratio of D, the diameter of the hole or rigid inclusion to Do, the diameter of the disk, is 0.4. The strain energy function of the incompressible rubber disk is assumed to have the Mooney form. The instability phenomenon for rotating disks and the strain distribution for circular disks under axisymmetric stretching are discussed. Some possible techniques for obtaining approximate solutions are also mentioned. 539

WILLIAMW. FENG FORMULATION
For a circular thin disk where the thickness of the disk is small compared to the diameter of the disk, the diameter of the hole or the diameter of the rigid inclusion, the plane stress assumption will lead to a good approximation. The geometry of an axisymmetric disk can be described by polar coordinates. A point on the undeformed disk p(r, O, z) is deformed to p'(p, O, z) as shown in Fig. 1, where p is a function of r only; therefore the principal stretch

Equations (8) and (9) are the governing equations for the axisymmetric plane stress problems. In general, they are two coupled first-order ordinary differential equations. T1 and T2 are functions of the principal stretch ratio 21 and 22. When the strain-energy function of the material and the boundary conditions are given, equations (8) and (9) can be integrated simultaneously by any standard numerical methods. If the disk is of an incompressible Mooney material, the strain-energy function is W(/1, 12) = C1(I1 - 3) + C2(I 2 - 3) = C1 [(11 - 3) + ot(I2 - 3)]
(i0)
where C1 and C2 are constants in the units of stress and a equals C2/C 1. Introducing (10) and the incompressibility conditions, equations (5) become 7"1 = 2Clh0 (~~

where the dots denote d~erential with respect to R. Equations (13) are the governing equations for rotating circular disks. Due to the presence of R, equations (13) are coupled differential equations. However, if we divide R by a scaling factor ~ apd multiply fl by ~2, equations (13) remain unchanged. This property makes the numerical calculation easier. The boundary value problem will be changed to an initial value problem by setting the parameter, that is not determined by the boundary condition, at a desired value, 2o, that is 2 1 ---- '~-2 ---- 20 at R = 0 for solid rotating disks, 21 = 20 at R = 0.2 for a rotating disk with a rigid inclusion and 2 2 ---- 20 at R = if2 for a rotating disk with a concentric hole. An arbitrary value of fl is assigned. Then, one solves equation (13) simultaneously for the successive points by increasing R until the outer boundary condition is satisfied. The final R(R:) is not likely to be equal to unity since fl is not likely to be the exact value. However, equations (13) remain unchanged when we divide R by ~ and multiply fl by ~2. We can choose ~ equal to R:. We obtain the exact fl value fl:( = fl~2) which will satisfy the governing equations and the boundary conditions at R = 0 (or 0.2) and R = 1. The physical properties can be obtained by replacing fl: for/3 and repeating the calculation.

CIRCULAR DISK WITH NON-UNIFORM INITIAL THICKNESS
A circular disk of non-uniform initial thickness is subjected to outward stretching. The external load ~ measured per unit undeformed length is applied to the outer boundary of the disk. We assume that the external load is applied quasi-statically; therefore the body force may be considered to be zero. The governing equation (8) reduces to 2~=

Equation (14) and the companion equation (9) are the governing equations for circular disks of Mooney materials. The governing equations are further simplified for the following two cases: (1) The initial thickness contour is h(r) = c f where c and n are constants, or

Equations (17) and (9) are the governing equations for a circular disk with c#' as its initial thickness contour. However, it is noteworthy that there are two variables, 21 and 22, in equation (17). (2) The final deformed thickness is a constant; that is 2ah(r) = a constant or

deformed thickness. Again, it is worthy of note that there are two variables 2t and 22 in equation (19). Equations (17) and (9) or Equations (19) and (9) are two decoupled first-order ordinary differential equations. With the proper boundary conditions equation (17) or equation (19) can be integrated separately. The results can be shown on the 21 - 22 phase plane. However, equation (9) is used to find the principal stretch ratios distribution in the disk.
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AND RESULTS The governing equations for a circular disk under radial stretching and during the rotation about its axis of symmetry are given in (13), (17) or (19) with the companion equation (9). In order to solve these differential equations, the appropriate boundary conditions should be described. Three cases of circular disks are studied in this paper" (a) a solid circular disk (b) a circular disk with a rigid inclusion (c) a circular disk with a concentric circular hole. The boundary conditions are, respectively: (i) Due to the symmetry property of the solid circular disk, the principal stretch ratios are equal at the origin, i.e. 21 = 2 2

where ~1 is the stress resultant in the radial direction per unit of undeformed length. ~1 is a given value. A ~ of zero is assumed for the circular disk rotating about its axis of symmetry. (ii) A circular disk with a rigid inclusion. The ratio of the diameter of the rigid inclusion to the diameter of the disk is a; therefore 22 = 1

For the purpose of illustration, the values of a are assumed to be 1}2 for the rotating disk and 0.4 for the disk under axisymmetric stretch, respectively. The second boundary condition is the same as in equation (21). (iii) A circular disk with a surface-traction-free hole. The boundary condition at the hole is (23) The values of a are again taken to be 0.2 and @4 for the rotating disk and the disk under axisymmetric stretching respectively. The second boundary condition is the same as in equation (21). Some values of ~ are assigned for a circular disk under radial surface traction. The results plotted on the 21 - 22 phase plane are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Since 21 and 22 are positive, only the first quadrant of the 21 - 22 phase plane is considered here. There are two lines worthy of special mention in Figs. 2 and 3. The stress resultant in the radial direction per unit of deformed length, T1, equals zero; therefore 2222 = 1. The stress resultant in the tangential direction per unit of deformed length, T2, equals zero; therefore 2122 = 1. These lines are shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and are the limits of the values of 21 and 22 in the first quadrant. Beyond these lines either T~ or T2 is negative; therefore the wrinkled zone appears in the disk. For a solid disk with a uniform deformed thickness the principal stretch ratios are constant values.

The strain distribution in non-linear plane stress problems is a function of external loads as well as the initial geometrical configuration. It is found in this paper that the principal stretch ratios as well as the stress resultant are constants in the solid disk with uniform fmal deformed thickness; however the strain distribution changes drastically for the uniform final deformed thickness disk with a concentric hole or a rigid inclusion. The Newton-Ralphson's successive approximation method may be applied to this type of problem. The zero-order approximation should be guessed. The closer the zero-order approximation, the faster it converges to the exact solution. The governing equations for the disk of neo-Hookean material (~t = 0) under large principal stretch ratios, will reduce to linear differential equations. The solutions may be obtained easily. These solutions will be very close to the exact solution for the disk of neo-Hookean material and may be used as a zero order approximation for the disk of Mooney material. The second approximation method is to reduce the decoupled differential equations to an integral equation. Picard's successive approximation method may then be employed; however, the second-order approximation for both approximation methods must be integrated numerically. REFERENCES [1] A. E. G m ~ and J.
