    Ring Rotating
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating radial and tangential stresses in a rotating shrink fit connection between a disc and a ring. The stresses are derived from both the shrink fit and the rotation, leading to four formulas that express these stresses as functions of angular velocity. A key point of inquiry is determining the angular velocity at which the ring separates from the disc, with uncertainty about the conditions leading to separation. Potential factors include displacement of the ring's inner edge and the material's elastic properties, such as if the ring is made of steel. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for accurate stress analysis in rotating systems.

A ring is connected to disc with a shrink fit connection. The disc and ring rotate about an fixed axis with an angular velocity w. The first question of my assignment was to calculate the radial and tangential stress in the disc and ring. This is no problem, because you can calculate the stresses due to the shrink fit connection and due the rotation and add them to each other.
So, in the end you get 4 formulas (for the ring and the disc) which calculate the stresses (tangential and radial) as a function of the angular speed.

The second question is to determine the angular velocity when the ring separates from the disc. I am wondering in what kind of situation the ring separates from the disc because this is not clear to me. Is it because of a displacement of the inner edge of the ring for example?

Will the ring stretch under the stress?
 
That information is not given, but the ring is made of an elastic material. It could be a ring of steel for example.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
