Interference contact between a pin and plate with a hole

This paper is concerned with the stress state induced by a radial force app lied to a circular shaft, shrink fitted into a plate. Conditions for the av oidance of separation and slip are considered, together with the overall st rength of the contact. The problem is considered as a complete or receding contact, and solutions are developed by two independent routes, which brack et the perfectly lubricated and adhesive bounds to the problem, and which p rovide a versatile design route.
