We use a double slotted pin (pin pressed in another pin) to transmit torque between a shaft and gear. I'm trying to determine how much the press fit of the pin in the shaft and hub affects the shear stress in the pin. I know for thick body cylinders an inward pressure on the OD will cause shear stresses in the cylinder. What I'm having trouble with is whether those shear stresses add to the shear stresses the pin sees from torque. Any opinions?
