CONSIDERATIONS UPON THE CIRCULAR SECTION CIRCLIPS/RETAINING RINGS AXIAL LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY

摘要

The reference standards as well as the specialty literature offer very many useful data to the designer. But, in specific applications, requiring small axial limits, they are insufficient to provide a satisfying safety without additional calculation. By means of FEM (finite element method), the authors are trying to point out the real behavior of the assembly in such cases.
