The finite-element method (1) (2)∗ is increasingly used in the stress analysis of mechanical-engineering problems. It is the purpose of this paper to described how the finite-element method can be used as an effective tool in the design of rotors. Up to the present time this method has mainly been used in the analysis of two-dimensional problems. However, a special class of three-dimensional problems, namely axi-symmetric rotors, can be treated as a nearly two-dimensional problem. This paper summarizes the development of the finite-element method as applied to the analysis of the axi-symmetric rotor. A computer programme is then briefly described, and the application of the method to the solution of three examples taken from practical engineering experience are presented.
