Shrink Fit of a Thick-Walled Cylinder With Contact Shear

Abstract

The shrink fit of a finite band on an infinite elastic thick-walled circular cylinder is formulated in terms of inhomogeneous dual integral equations. The solution is obtained by the series method for the case of a prescribed uniform radial displacement and an arbitrary contact shear. A three dimensional photoelastic experiment was performed to provide a realistic contact shear condition and to confirm the analytical solution. The model loading fixture was based on the high coefficient of thermal expansion and the two-phase character of epoxy. The resulting stress and displacement fields are compared with those of a similar mixed boundary value problem neglecting the contact shear.
