A method is given in this paper for calculating the mean hoop and meridional bending stresses in a rotating toroidal shell. The rotational stresses in a wheel, consisting of a portion of a toroidal shell, built in at one edge to the hub, have been calculated and are compared with the stresses determined experimentally with electrical resistance strain gauges.
