Visaj Kandarpkumar Pandya, Payal Desai

Abstract: Stress analysis of eccentric ring is carried out in bipolar coordinate system under uniform internal and external pressure. Airy stress function is chosen in such a way that it satisfies the bi-harmonic equations and boundary conditions in bipolar coordinate system. Stresses are obtained for various parameters such as eccentricity, various inner radius to outer radius ratios. Effect of eccentricity is investigated on the stresses of the eccentric rings. Results are useful for the design of eccentric rings.
