No, just the opposite.  An applied displacement usually produces a very large stress.  In a cylindrical body an applied radially displacement will produce a large hoop stress proportional to displacement/radius and the elastic modulus.  If you apply the radial displacement at the inner radius, some of it may be lost at the outer radius.  An examination of the contact status may offer an explanation.
