In this paper the strength of a rotary kiln, which is widely used in the field of chemical industries, is discussed from both theoretical and experimental approaches. The analysis is made exactly by regarding the rotary kiln as a cylindrical shell and a full-sized model of kiln is used in the experiment. In the analysis the various factors of loads, such as the weight of kiln and deformation of tire, force of the loading block acting on tire, those due to the contents and driving equipment, etc., are taken into consideration. A detailed discussion on the results of analysis and experiment confirms the importance of an appropriate design for the blocks between kiln and tire. Furthermore the effect of thermal stress on the strength of the rotary kiln is examined.
