Strength of multilayer metal joints «shaft-sleeve-hub» of rotorcrafts obtained by plastic deformation
Abstract Metal multilayer joints are used in the production and repair of transmission parts and control systems of rotorcrafts with intensively wearing surfaces in the form of smooth closed cylindrical and conical holes. The article describes two types of connections: rolled sleeve - hub and shaft - rolled sleeve - hub. The adhesion strength of the joints depends on the frictional forces that prevent the sleeve from displacing relative to the hub. The traction strength is determined by measuring the pressing force and the torque. It depends on the relative tension. An increase in the force of pressing the joint occurs with an increase in the relative tension of mandrel, in proportion to the hardening of the material. The smaller hub wall thickness leads to the more active effect of its springback to the foundation of contact pressure and an increasing of the traction force. Experiments have shown that the forces and moments of traction depend on the angle of the intake cone and the width of the cylindrical tape of the mandrel.
