| 摘要 |
A thermal stress-free joint assembly for joining a low thermal expansion member and a high thermal expansion member uses a fastener and a bushing fitted within a bore in the low thermal expansion member, wherein the fastener and bushing materials are selected to have predetermined coefficients of thermal expansion. The fastener includes a shank which passes through the bore in the low thermal expansion member. The bushing, bore and shank are dimensioned according to a mathematical relationship to maintain a predetermined clearance or preload as the joint undergoes changes in temperature, without damage to either joined member from thermally induced stress.
