A characteristic equation for a critical radius of a plastic zone is obtained as a first approximation. The formula for the critical angular velocity, determining the stability loss of the disc according to the self-balanced form, is derived. The method using which we can take into account the disc¡¯s geometry and loading parameters is also specified. The efficiency of the proposed method is shown in Section 5 while considering an illustrative example. The values of critical angular velocity of rotating are found numerically for different parameters of the disc. %K Axisymmetric Elastoplastic Problem %K Boundary Shape Perturbation Method %K Rotating Circular Annular Disc %K Stepped Disc %K Stability Loss %K Critical Angular Velocity %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=4809
