AE 321 Solution of Homework #11

Solution #1

(a) = + +

It does satisfy
4
= 0 but it gives a trivial solution for stresses. Using Cauchys
equation we find that

= 0.



(b) =
2

It satisfies
4
= 0. This means that satisfies the requirement for an Airy Stress
function.

For the inner cylinder:

= 0,

=
For the outer cylinder:
1
= ,
2
= ,

= ,

= 0

Hence, we can compute the radial displacements for the two cylinders by putting the
values of r1, r2, Pi and Po from (2) in equation (1). We would get displacements for the
inner cylinder as ur
I
and for the outer cylinder as ur
II
as a function of radial distance r.

The schematic below shows the inner and the outer cylinders when they are shrink- fitted.
The inner cylinder is marked in blue and the boundaries are denoted by dashed blue lines.
The outer cylinder is marked in grey and boundaries are denoted by bold black lines.

ur
I
is the radial displacement for the inner cylinder. It is negative because positive radial
direction is always pointing outwards from the origin O. ur
II
is the radial displacement for
the outer cylinder.

The two cylinders get shrink-fitted along the red dash-dot line.
