Abstract

Abstract: This paper deals with failure analysis for coming out of the steel shaft from ceramic sleeve connected by shrink fitting. Only low shrink fitting ratio can be applied because of the brittleness of the ceramic sleeve. However, the steel shafts may be loosening out from the ceramic sleeve under such low shrink fitting ratio. In this study, the coming out behavior of the shaft during rotation is analyzed by the finite element method. The roller rotation is replaced by shifted load in the circumferential direction on the fixed roller. It is found that the load rotation can be approximated by the discrete load shifting at the interval angle θ0 = 12° within 1% error. The effect of the shrink fitting ratio on the coming out of the shaft is discussed as well as several other parameters, such as Young's modulus of the shaft, the friction coefficient, magnitude of the load, and geometry of the shaft. Furthermore, it is found that the shear stress distribution at the shrink-fitted area may be useful for evaluating whether the coming out occurs or not. Highlight: We consider failure analysis for coming out of the shaft from the ceramics sleeve. Simulation of the coming out during rotation is carried out by FEM approach. The coming out of the shaft can be influenced by shrink fitting ratio and other parameters. The shear stress change can give useful information about coming out phenomenon.
