bearing allowable
(OP)
A pin bears on the inside dia of a hole. The hole's cross section is made of two dissimilar types of aluminum sheets with different bearing allowables. can anyone provide a technique for calculating one bearing allowable value? thanks.

RE: bearing allowable
the stiffer sheet will react more of the applied load untill the lower bearing allowable stress is reached. the load reacted by this sheet is fixed (Fbr*A), all that would change is the applied load when this is reached (but who cares ?). the load reacted by the stronger sheet is also fixed, so the full load is fixed. the assumption is that the weaker sheet doesn't fail in bearing untill the stronger sheet does, not 100% correct but near enough, no?

Since both are aluminum, it really shouldn't be an issue.
