Abstract

The main objective of the work is to investigate the effect of size, surface roughness and the interference value on the static stiffness of shrink-fitted joints.
Most of the previous research has been concerned with the joint holding load under static conditions without consideration to many of the applications in which the joints are exposed to dynamic loading. The dynamic performance of a machine tool is greatly affected by the collected response of its joints. In many applications in which shrink fitted joints are used, such as engines and machine tools, their dynamic characteristics can be an important factor in deciding the overall performance of the machine. Hence, studying the joints stiffness characteristics under static and dynamic conditions is of great importance.
