1The compressive stress in one of the elements is set to the ultimate tensile stress since plastic deformation is assumed ( ε=Δd/d>Rm/E ). Thin walled components stressed in the elastic regime can be calculated with the standard calculator for interference fits.

Note that the ±2.5% failure probability makes that 95% of the assemblies fall between the max and min values calculated.
