Geometry Factor:

Where:

  Ep  = Modulus of elasticity of considered plastic hub or boss

  vp   = Poissons ratio of plastic

= Allowable design stress for plastic

  i    = ds - di = Diametral interference

  ia  = Allowable interference

Case #1

Shaft and Hub have identicleor very simular materials.  Hoop stress given i is:

and the interference is:

Case #2

Shaft is metal and hub is plastic, Hoop stress is given i is:

and the interference is:
