Since in a shrink fit the transferable moment essentially depends on the interface pressure between inclusion and hub, the interface pressure should be as large as possible. This may be facilitated by a partially plastic design, which however also has some drawbacks like a possible permanent redistribution of the stresses after operating at high angular speeds and temperatures. In contrast to that, in the present study the use of a functionally graded hub in an elastically designed interference fit with solid inclusion is proposed. It is shown that for an appropriate grading not only the weight of the hub can be reduced noticeably as compared to a homogeneous hub, but also that particularly a much better performance at rotation can be achieved, which predominates over marginal disadvantages at high temperatures. The generally valid analytical results provide a comprehensive means for the practicing engineer for the design of this kind of shrink fits. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
