Surface stress, allowable
Surface stress, allowable
(OP)
I know there exists standards on the subject for ball bearings etc, but in the standards the safety factor is "baked" inside the formula. On a general basis, with a given geometry, is it possible to say something about a materials capacity in compression?

RE: Surface stress, allowable
Codes for structural steel limit the bearing pressure on the hole of a pin or bolt to something not far from 2.5 the allowable stress in tension, the bearing pressure being calculated on the hole diameter times the thickness.
