I'm trying to find the stress/strain relationship of a Cylindrical component (Nylon) when it has a carbon based Stainless Steel to help with conductivity. The SS piece is stationary during use as is the Nylon piece. The entire assembly has an SS cylinder around it which has a .002" interference as worst case condition based on a tolerance analysis. The assembly (a solenoid type assembly) undergoes a high temperature change during use (20 deg C - 80 deg C).
I'm drawing a blank as it's been so many years since I used any of my physics equations since college! Can any of you point me in the right direction on how to calculate how much stress/strain that the Nylon goes through with the thermal expansion over 60 deg C?
Thanks!!
