The stress analysis of pressurized and rotating isotropic discs is a classical problem which can be found in literature. In a recent paper, Kookson and Sathianathan indicated that the effect of anistropy, on the stress distribution within a rotating disc, is considerable. In our proposed work, the effect of pressure on stationary and steady rotating discSis studied. The stress distribution in stationary discs, under inner and outer pressures, is analyzed for different values of anisotropic constant X= A7E7 1 where Ee and Er are the material elastic moduli in tangential and radial directions respectively. The effect of variable parameters, radius ratio, anisotropic constant X , pressure difference, is determined for the case of orthotropic steady rotating annular discs. Our results indicate that the effect of anisotropy, on the stress distribution within a disc, is considerable.
