Contact stress
Contact stress
(OP)
I am working on a locking solution like vacuum cleaner cylindrical tube like this

I have to find the contact stress between aluminum body and thermoplastic body.
I will use the Hertzian contact stress formula, however my force are not axial to surface, it is perpendicular.
Can you help me about that?

I thought the interference fit should be between alu tubes. they are not touching actually.
the contact is at the locking part as shown here & alu tube holes--> http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c...
