In this study, effects of geometric factors and material properties are investigated on stress behavior of circular rotating disk with constant rotation in various industrial mechanisms using equilibrium equations, geometric relations and stress functions. In this way, research on a thin uniform and homogeneous circular disk under constant rotation is considered. The rotating motion produces centrifugal acceleration on each element of the rotating disk, and this rotating motion becomes the source of external loading for the mentioned problem. Additional exterior loadings are not assumed in this problem. It is comfortable to handle the centrifugal force loading by relating it to a body force... 

In this paper, vibration analysis of rotating laminated composite cylindrical shells using a combination of the layerwise theory and wave propagation approach is investigated. This combination enables us to study all the conventional boundary conditions in our analysis. Results obtained have been compared with those available in the literature and a good agreement has been observed. In contrast to the Equivalent Single Layer theories (ESL), the layerwise theory is constructed on the basis ofC°- continuity through the laminate thickness. For the surface of the shell, a displacement field based on the wave propagation approach is proposed. The effect of Coriolis and centrifugal accelerations...
