Problem statement

Geometry
Thin solid disk of outer radius R (plane stress), free edge.
Material
Linear-elastic isotropic material, E, ν and density ρ.
Boundary conditions
Rotation at angular velocity ω (centrifugal body force ρω²r); traction-free rim.
Measured quantity
Peak stress at the centre, σmax = (3+ν)/8·ρω²R² (σr = σθ there).

Script

Lands with the scripting engine (see Documentation) — this setup will be runnable from commands, no manual rebuild needed.

Results comparison

The solver core is still in development — there's no result yet. It'll appear here right after the first run, no retouching.
