Abstract

The elastic stress concentrations developed from the keyless frictionless static press-fit of a shaft into a hub are addressed. Two configurations are examined, namely (a) an infinitely long solid shaft press-fitted into a hollow hub with bore rounded edges, and (b) a shaft with filleted extremity, partially inserted into a hub. Derived from an analytical approach, a normalizing parameter is proposed that accounts for the combined effects on the stress concentrations of the fillet radius, the shaft radius, the interference, and Young’s modulus. With the aid of finite elements, various design charts are compiled that report the elastic stress concentrations within the hub versus the proposed normalizing parameter. Each curve is valid for a fixed ratio of inner to outer hub radii.
