- 3. Introduction of knuckle joint
- 4. Introduction of knuckle joint • A knuckle joint is a mechanical joint used to connect two rods which are under a tensile load, when there is a requirement of small amount of flexibility, or angular moment is necessary. There is always axial or linear line of action of load. • Knuckle joint was inspired from Hand Knuckle movement.

- 13. • Material :- Steel or Wrought Iron • Manufacturing process :- Split pin may be cast or fabricated or forged. The split pin is usually a tight fit on the pin which does not allow collar to come out . Taper Pin / Split Pin
- 14. • Material :- Steel or Wrought Iron • Manufacturing process :- pin may be cast or fabricated or forged. The pin is usually a tight fit in the eye or held to the eye with a grub screw and bearings are provided in the fork. The bearings may be plain bearings or rolling element bearings. Knuckle pin

- 16. Assumptions made for stress analysis of a Knuckle Joint • The rods are subjected to axial tensile force. • The effect of stress concentration due to holes is neglected. • The force is uniformly distributed in various parts.
- 17. Design of Knuckle Joints
- 18. Knuckle Joint Design • d = diameter of rod • d1 = d • t = 1.25d • d2 = 2d • t1 = 0.75d • d3 = 1.5.d • t3 = 0.5d • Mean diameter of the split pin = 0.25 d
- 19. However, failures analysis may be carried out for checking. The analyses are shown below assuming the same materials for the rods and pins and the yield stresses in tension, compression and shear are given by σt, σc and τ. Failure of knuckle pin in bending (if the pin is loose in the fork) Assuming a triangular pressure distribution on the pin, the loading on the pin is shown in figure. Equating the maximum bending stress to tensile or compressive yield stress we have
- 20. Bending of a knuckle pin The design may be carried out using the empirical proportions and then the analytical relations may be used as checks.
- 21. Design a Knucle Joint for Tractor Trolly joint, when it is subjected to 75 kN tensile load. I. Selection of material • The rods are subjected to tensile force. • Therefore, yield strength is the criterion for the selection of the pin. On strength basis, the material for two rods and pin is selected as plain carbon steel of grade 30C8 (Syt= 400 N/mm2). • It is further assumed that the yield strength in compression is equal to yield strength in tension. • In practice, the compressive strength in tension. • In practice, the compressive strength of steel is much higher than its tensile strength. II. Selection of factor of safety • In stress analysis of knuckle joint, the effect of stress concentration is neglected. • To account for this effect, a higher factor of safety of 5 is assumed in present design.
