The material density of a rotor disk in aircraft design refers to the mass per unit volume of the material from which the rotor disk is constructed. It is a crucial parameter used in weight calculations, structural analysis, and overall performance considerations.
The formula to calculate the material density is as follows:
- Material Density is the density of the material, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- Mass of Rotor Disk is the total mass of the rotor disk, measured in kilograms (kg).
- Volume of Rotor Disk is the total volume of the rotor disk, typically measured in cubic meters (m³).
