Help with interference fits of sleeve on a solid shaft

AI Thread Summary
To determine the minimum thickness of a sleeve for an interference fit on a solid shaft, it is essential to calculate the pressure and stresses involved. The user has the interference value and the outer diameter of the shaft but lacks specific measurements for pressure and sleeve dimensions. Without these values, finding a precise relationship or formula to establish the minimum thickness becomes challenging. The discussion suggests exploring existing threads for potential solutions, but the absence of material properties complicates the analysis. Ultimately, understanding the relationship between interference fit parameters and material characteristics is crucial for solving the problem.

I am trying to find the minimum thickness that a sleeve (without relief) needs to be in order to not fail when assembled by interference fit. I know the interference value and the outer diameter of the shaft, but that's all...

How do I solve for pressure, stresses, and ultimately the minimum thickness that a sleeve could be?

Unfortunately I do not have either pressure, or outer radius (or thickness) so I am still having trouble going about this. Is there any relationship that could help? And I have many materials to work with so I cannot say what those specific values are

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
