Summary

The reduction in stress concentration factors resulting from the introduction of an interference-fit pin in a circular hole in a flat plate to which a simple tension is applied has already been recorded. The same result is found to occur to an equally marked extent, and qualitatively in a very similar way, when the load is applied to the pin itself. When varying loads are applied to the pin or the plate, the effect of the interference is to produce a rise in the mean stress level at critical points on the hole boundary with a marked fall in the oscillatory stress. There appears to be an optimum value for the “interference stress” for given applied loading conditions at which the endurance of the plate will have its highest value.

When loads are applied simultaneously to pin and plate the critical stress on the hole boundary is found to be the mean of the stresses which would be produced by the total load applied separately to the pin and to the plate.
