Design of the Body

Select a suitable material for the body from table E-24
When two cylindrical parts are assembled by shrinking or press-fitting one part upon another, a contact pressure is created between the two parts.
A
contact pressure
exists between the members at the transition radius R,
causing radial stresses
in each member at the contacting surfaces.
The tangential stress at the inner surface of the outer member is found to be

Specify a suitable class of force fit from Table 19.6 and get the value of coefficient C from Table 19.7 (Standard Handbook of Machine Design, Shigley, Chapter 19 ).
Calculate the limit, L in thousandths of an inch corresponding to coefficient C and basic size D in inches
