  ABSTRACT: In this paper, the exact analytical and numerical solutions for rotating variable-thickness annular disk are presented. The inner and outer edges of the rotating variable-thickness annular disk are considered to have free boundary conditions. Two different annular disks for the radially varying thickness are given. The numerical Runge-Kutta solution as well as the exact analytical solution is available for the first disk while the exact analytical solution is not available for the second annular disk. Both exact and numerical results for stress function, stresses, strains and radial displacement will be investigated for the first annular disk of variable thickness. The accuracy of the present numerical solution is discussed and its ability of use for the second rotating variable-thickness annular disk is investigated. Finally, the distributions of stress function, displacement, strains, and stresses will be presented. The appropriate comparisons and discussions are made at the same angular velocity.
