Ok, so you don't need the E of the pin.
Thermal effects, I can calculate the dimensional changes based on the CTE.
Is it possible to determine the excact amount of interference which makes the shift from elastic to plastic deformation?
Thank you unclesyd.
I am surprised that Young modulus is not part of the decision. from your formula's it seems purely dimensional.
I am in acoustics and not familiar with some of the terms you use. Could you please explain: S(t), S(c) and HB.
Thanks again.
I need to know how to calculate the amount of interference allowed for a pin (metal-1-hard) in hole (metal-2-soft) to remain in the elastic deformation area and not get plastic deformation after freezing to a certain temperature.
Appreciate any help?
