Lamé Equation

$$p = \frac{\delta/d}{\dfrac{1}{E_h}\!\left(\dfrac{d_o^2+d^2}{d_o^2-d^2}+\nu_h\right)+\dfrac{1}{E_s}\!\left(\dfrac{d^2+d_i^2}{d^2-d_i^2}-\nu_s\right)}$$

Assembly force: $F = \mu p \pi d L$

Torque capacity: $T = F \cdot d/2$

Interference vs Contact Pressure & Force

Hub Stress (Lamé)

Hoop stress: $\sigma_\theta(r) = p\dfrac{(d/2)^2}{(d_o/2)^2-(d/2)^2}\!\left(1+\dfrac{(d_o/2)^2}{r^2}\right)$

Radial stress: $\sigma_r(r) = p\dfrac{(d/2)^2}{(d_o/2)^2-(d/2)^2}\!\left(1-\dfrac{(d_o/2)^2}{r^2}\right)$

Maximum at inner bore $r = d/2$.

Engineering note: ISO tolerance fits (H/s, H/r): typical δ/d ≈ 0.001–0.003. Dry steel-steel friction μ ≈ 0.12–0.15. Design for transmitted torque with safety factor 1.5–2.0. For large diameters use oil-injection assembly to protect bore surface.
