Thermo elastic-plastic transition in a thin rotating disc with inclusion

Stresses for the elastic-plastic transition and fully plastic state have been derived for a thin rotating disc with shaft at different temperatures and results have been discussed and depicted graphically. It has been observed that the rotating disc with inclusion and made of compressible material requires lesser angular speed to yield at the internal surface and higher percentage increase in angular speed to become fully plastic as compare to disc made of incompressible material. With the introduction of thermal effect the rotating disc with inclusion required lesser angular speed to yield at the internal surface. Rotating disc made of compressible material with inclusion requires higher percentage increase in angular speed to become fully-plastic as compare to disc made of incompressible material. Thermal effect also increases the values of radial and circumferential stresses at the internal surface for fully-plastic state.
