Stresses Round Pins in Holes

Abstract
Summary: The existing data relating to stresses round pins in holes are reviewed and co-ordinated.The first part of the paper deals with pins of which the diameter is less than half the plate width and which are no better than a push fit in the hole; the second section deals with larger pins; and the third section deals with interference fit of the smaller pins. The theoretical background is sketched in two appendices, and the results of three series of photoelastic measurements of the effects of clearance of the pin in the hole are described.
