Additional information
Shrink fits are fundamental and highly-efficient mechanical-fastening system. However, despite wide usage (from railway wheels to prosthetics) their failure mechanisms and modes are not fully understood and validation of emerging failure models is challenging. Paper describes enhanced photoelastic method to allow investigation of interface shear stresses in shrink-fitted assemblies at point of global slip; this is an important condition when assessing microslip and fretting-fatigue conditions. Research led to EPSRC i-CASE award (2009-12) with Tata Steel investigating failure of shrink-fitted work rolls for rolling steel sections.
