Summary

The benefit to be obtained by using an interference fit between the pin and plate in a pin-jointed connection has already been established. An examination of the published results shows that some non-linearity occurs in the mechanism of load transference from the pin to the plate since, except at very high initial interference, doubling the load on the joint more than doubles the maximum shear stress in the plate. An examination of the stress-load relationship shows a distinct discontinuity, the load at which this discontinuity occurs being dependent upon both the initial interference and the coefficient of friction between the pin and the plate. It is shown that the results hitherto published correspond to a coefficient of friction between the pin and the plate of 0.3 and results for lower and higher coefficients are given.
