A comparative theoretical investigation using the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) has been performed on a thin rotating disc with slots that are subjected to both radial tangential forces and centrifugal loading. Stress concentration factors (K¬t) and stress intensity f...
