Shrink Fitting of Two Rings

The inner and outer radii of the inner ring are 20” and 22”, respectively. The inner and outer radii of the outer ring are 21.25” and 24.25”, respectively (0.75” interference). The inner ring is in compression and the outer ring is in tension. You calculate the stresses and displacements at the interface and compare the results with the analytical solution.
