Shrink-fitting, a common bonding technique in metal assemblies, was used for mortise and tenon wood joints. The joints had considerable strength. Shrink-fitting yielded joint strengths comparable to those obtained by using several welded dowels. Increasing the number of welded dowels, however, produced joints of higher strength than those bonded just by shrink-fitting. Combining in the same joi...

shrink fit process is a useful technique in order to introduce beneficial residual stress in compound pressure vessels. in this paper, the effects of geometrical tolerances on residual stresses have been studied for a compound shrink fitted pressure vessel, practically. three layers, which are designed based on an optimum nominal thickness and overlap dimensions and tolerances, have been fitted...

This research is collaborative investigation with the general-purpose motor manufacturer. To review construction method in production process, we applied the parameter design method of quality engineering and tried to approach the optimization of construction method. Conventionally, press-fitting method has been adopted in process of fitting rotor core and shaft which is main component of motor...

This study presents a designing process for refurbishing of a 32 MW rotor-generator damaged coupling. The reason of rotor damage was being hit by the quivers of an explosion. The original coupling was union with the rotor formed after a machining process on a mono block forged rotor. In some areas imposed damages caused the breaking off and detachment of some parts in the coupling flange. Becau...
