The Connection Between the Shaft and Hub from an FEM Perspective: Analytical and Numerical Solution Methods, Sizing

This book is primarily intended for engineers, designers, and students of technical fields who wish to expand their knowledge of the construction, design, and sizing of shaft-hub connections. The book addresses the issues of construction and sizing for selected methods of shaft-hub connections. The introduction analyzes the loads acting on shaft-hub connections. The first part of the book describes and analyzes shaft-hub connections using form fit. Tight key, equilateral spline, and transverse cylindrical pin connections were selected as examples. The second part provides a detailed treatment of press-fit joints (transverse, longitudinal), including the derivation of the necessary analytical relationships. Each chapter includes numerical analyses using the Finite Element Method (FEM) for the given type of connection, including a comparison of the results of the analytical solution method with the results of the FEM analyses.
