Thermal Expansion – Shrink Fit Calculator
Engineering Tools Introduction: Below is our shrink fit and thermal expansion calculator. Use this calculator to solve for linear expansion due to temperature change and the temperatures needed to assemble an interference joint (shrink fit). If you don’t see your material listed in the material section, please contact us and we’ll research and add it.…

Harnessing Thermal Expansion: From Interference Fits To Structural Designs.
Thermodynamics Introduction In this post, we are going to cover the topic of thermal expansion and how we account for it and how we use it. What Is Thermal Expansion? Thermal expansion (and contraction) is the result of a temperature change on an object. Some objects are more sensitive to temperature changes. Take for example…
