Home / Examples / Stress Analysis [Galileo] / Example 23: Deformation due to Centrifugal Force
The deformation due to the centrifugal force is analyzed.
The deformation, the displacement distribution, and the stress distribution are solved.
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.
Results will vary depending on Femtet version and the PC environment.

If the angular velocity is opted, the rotational axis is Z axis. Therefore the model is created to be symmetric with reference to Z axis.
Cylindrical solid bodies are created and they are modified with boolean operations.

The Z-direction displacement is shown below by contour. The contour diagram shows the magnitude of displacement.
The non-supported portions of outer wheel deforms outwards.
The vectors of the stress are shown below.
The tensile stress is generated throughout the model, concentratedly generated at the supporting portions.
