berkeman, ah, I see now - thanks!

Danger, Haha - thanks!

berkeman, Can you tell me how to PM him? I was looking for that option and couldn't find it. Thanks

FredGarvin - I didn't know how else to reach you and wasn't sure if you would receive a message if I responded to a thread that was started by someone else in which you responded. Anyhow, my question is on compressive stresses for ball and socket type bearings. You responded to a post in...

I believe that is correct. That was the assumption I had come to.

For the equation: contact stress = {(1 / (pi[((1-v1^2)/E1)) + ((1-v2^2)/E2))) ^ 0.5} * {((Fn/b) * (Sum (1/pi)))^0.5} Where Sum (1/pi) = [(1/p1) - (1/p2)] for concave shapes in contact with convex shapes Sum (1/pi) approaches 0 as the two radii get closer, however when the two radii...
