Results on the plastic collapse behaviour of an axisymmetric rotating shell, obtained by Limit Analysis and the Finite Element Method, are in good agreement with experimental data. The Finite Element Method, though computationally rather costly, permits, however, a more complete analysis of elasto-plastic behaviour. For the present case, the Limit Analysis has the advantage of greater computational simplicity and leads to a quite satisfactory forecast of collapse speed from the engineering point of view.
