Abstract

The paper is dedicated to the examination of stress states of a rotating body which occur due to centrifugal forces. In order to determine stress and stain distribution, photoelastic PhotoStress method was applied and a measurement device – polariscope LF/Z-2 was used. The sample under examination was subjected to loads of various magnitudes and, subsequently, recorded with a photographic device. For objective evaluation of detected results, the object under examination was modelled and simulated in programme SolidWorks 2012.
