After the turbine rotor comes to rest, which section has the greatest bending?

After the turbine comes to a stop, due to the significant temperature difference between the upper and lower cylinders and the thick diameter of the main shaft, the shaft is prone to bending. Therefore, once the turbine has come to a standstill, it is necessary to start the barring gear; if the barring gear fails to operate due to some fault, manual operation of the barring gear is required, with 180° of rotation needed every half hour. As for which section is easy to bend, I also want to learn*learn*.
