This program computes stresses, deflections, axial force, and torque capacity for non-rotating or very slow speed

(where centrifugal force effects are neglible) cylindrical mechanical interference fit
assemblies of uniform cross section. It is based on Spotts (seventh edition), 12-2, "shrink and press fit stresses." For a thin-walled cylinder (i.e., wall thickness < 0.1 times its smaller radii of
curvature), the radial and tangential stresses, R and T respectively, are approximately uniform throughout the cross section; therefore, there is negligible change in radial wall section (i.e., radial
deflection of the inner and outer surfaces are about equal, and radial deformation of the mean circumference is computed based on the uniform hoop (tangential) stress. For a thick-walled
cylinder, the radial stress is not neglible, and tangential stress is not uniform throughout the cross section: Resulting stresses and deflections are computed per Roark and Young (sixth edition),
Table 32, Cases 1a. and 1c.
