Solid shaft compression - taper locks

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the stress on a solid shaft subjected to compressive forces from taper locks or press fits. The original poster is uncertain about the maximum allowable hoop stress when the internal radius is zero. They question whether steel can withstand more than 250 MPa in this context, especially when a locking ring applies 220 MPa to the shaft's exterior. Despite calculations suggesting insufficient strength for a shaft with a 65 mm outer diameter and 1 mm inner diameter, the poster believes it would still function effectively. The conversation highlights the complexities of stress analysis in solid shafts under compression.

Hi all,

I am trying to work out the stress on a shaft when a compressive force is placed on it such as a taper lock or press fit. I have looked at all the thin and thick wall section formulas and they seem ok. I am not sure what happens when the internal radius becomes 0 and its a solid shaft.
What is the maximum stress (hoop) allowable. For example surely steel can take more than say 250 mpa if it is a solid shaft being clamp.
What compression should a steel shaft be able to withstand,
Thanks all, too many hours scratching my head on this one.

Just to make things clear i am looking at a locking ring that applies 220mpa to the outside of the shaft, and using these equations even a shaft with a with 65 mm od and 1 mm ID it isn't strong enough but i know it would work.
Thanks all
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
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'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
