loaded interference fit
loaded interference fit
(OP)
hello!
i have a situation where i am press-fitting a rod into a plate, and then loading the other end of the rod. the load is parallel to the plate.
we have differing opinions over here about how to best find the stress on the plate from both the interference fit and the load. can anyone clarify how to find the stress on the plate?
thanks.

FEA would almost be overkill in this case. But if the sizes and magnitudes involved give you pause and you have access, try it. But do the hand calculations anyway. It's always recommended to attempt the solution in a different way, e.g., pen and paper, and reconcile the two.
