Abstract

Many problems involved in analyzing shrink fits on thick cylinders refer to Gadolin's conditions, which were derived for shrink fits with two cylinders. However, these equations are valid only if the allowable stresses for the inner and outer cylinders are the same. Now, new shrink-fit studies allow Gadolin's conditions to be modified so the equations can be used even when the allowable stresses for inner and outer cylinders are not the same. Also, recently developed design data sheets allow quick and easy analysis of shrink-fit problems. Calculations are illustrated with problems involving a monoblock assembly a two-cylinder shrink fit, in particular when two different materials are used.
