rotating shells

Goal of the article is to determine the support and bending moments, loads on the supports, as well as the normal stresses in the continuous rotary  unit housing, which is subjected to complex mechanical and thermal loads. Significance. The rotary kiln housing, as a rotating shell, bends under the load both in the spans between the supports and at the supports themselves, and also deforms in the cross-section. These deformations create longitudinal and transverse bending moments.
