well, a fillet would remove the point stress that is down the length of the pin, but I think the circle contacting a circle would still be a single line of contact in the other direction.
I use surface to surface, but what is the difference?
I see, thank you very much for the help, that makes a lot of sense. My goal is to determine the breaking point of the pin, I can measure the stress due to bending in the middle of the pin, which I assume is pretty accurate, but I wonder if there is anyway to determine the actual stress on the...
I am analysing a pin which rests through two holes in a bracket. The holes are .02 in wide and are slightly larger than the pin. The pin is subjected to a downward force in the middle (between the holes). I am intesrested in the stress where the pin meets the hole in both parts.
The problem I...
