Shrink Fit of Links or Anchors of Length Equations

Shrink-fit connections utilizing a link or anchor are widely used in machine design and construction.

The average compression in the part of rim affected according to C. D. Albert
Eq. 1
σc = F / ( Ab Ar )0.5

The tensile stress in link formula
Eq. 2
σt = ( Lf - Lo ) / Lo

The total load on link formula
Eq. 3
F = [ ( Lf - Lo ) E A ] / Lo

The compressive stress in rim formula
Eq. 4
σc = [ ( Lf - Lo ) / Lo ] ( E A ) / ( Ab Ar )0.5

The original length of link
Eq. 5
Lo = L / [ 1 + ( 1 + ( E A ) / ( Ab Ar )0.5 ) ( σr / E ) ]

The necessary linear interference δ for shrink anchors
Eq. 6
δ = σd l / L

The force exerted by an anchor
Eq. 7
F = a b σd

Eq. 8
b / a = 2 to 3

Eq. 9
σd design stress based on a reliability factor of 1.25
