OS-V: 0280 Axisymmetric Elements - Interference Fit Between Two Cylinders

The model examines the contact pressure between two cylinders in case of interference fit of 20 mm.



図 1. Model and Loading Description

Benchmark Model

2D axisymmetric elements (CQAXI) elements are used to model 2 cylinders.

A minus gap clearance of 20mm was used to analyze interference fit between the cylinders. The cylinders are vertically fixed. Stationary frictionless contacts are used.
