Design of Stress Relief Groove on a Press-Fitted Assembly

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to propose the effective method of reducing the maximum contact pressure at the contact edge of press-fitted shaft by optimizing the location and the size of stress relief groove in hub face. Finite element analysis was performed in order to determine the contact pressure and stress state on a press-fitted assembly and optimization were applied to select optimal size and location of stress relief groove. In order to reduce the cost of optimization design, approximation optimization method is used and the optimum results obtained by Sequential Quadratic Programming and genetic algorithm are compared. Optimized results show that the maximum contact pressure at the contact edge of press-fitted shaft with optimal stress relief groove decreased about 30%. And the both optimization algorithms can effectively reduced the maximum contact pressure at the contact edge of press-fitted shaft.
