Knuckle Joint

As seen in the assembly the Knuckle joint has main four parts

1. Rods
2. Single eye
3. Double eye or Forked end
4. Pin
Step 1 : Design of Rods ( d ?)

I. Tensile failure of rod

Step 2 : Design of Knuckle Pin ( d1)

I. Shear failure of Pin

(Find d1 using Empirical relations)

Check Stresses
Step 3 : Design of Single Eye End ( t )

I. Tensile failure of Single Eye End

Check Stresses

II. Shear failure of Single Eye End

(Find “ t ” using Empirical relations)

Check Stresses
III. Crushing failure of Single Eye End

Check Stresses

Step 3 : Design of Double Eye End ( t1 )

I. Tensile failure of Double Eye End

Check Stresses

II. Shear failure of Double Eye End

Check Stresses

III. Crushing failure of Double Eye End
