Abstract
This paper proposes the theoretical model of a multilayer interference fit and gives out the relational expression between radial interference and friction coefficient. Taking the typical wind turbine's shrink disk of a three-layer interference fit structure as an example, special experimental equipment is developed to test the torque capacity. Based on experimental results and the theoretical model, the mathematical expressions of radial interference and assembly stroke for friction coefficient are obtained by polynomial fitting, and the prediction model of friction coefficient is established. The three-dimensional finite element model of a shrink disk is constructed by applying the friction coefficient prediction model. With the mathematical expressions of radial interference and assembly stroke for the torque capacity, the rules of main dimension parameters and torque capacity are analyzed. The maximum relative error between experiment and simulation is 8.2%, which shows the feasibility of finite element simulation. The results of our study have certain guidance for the prediction of friction coefficient and the manufacture of the multilayer interference fit.
