2.FAILURE OF KNUCKLE JOINT
step 1 : Design of Rods (D,D1)
Step 2 : Decide the thickness of eye end and forked
ABSTRACT end (t1,t2)
Step 3 : Decide the dimensions of pin (d,d1)
Knuckle joint is a type of mechanical joint used in Step 4 : Check stresses in eye end
structures, to connect two intersecting Step 5 : Check stresses fork end
cylindrical rods, whose axes lie on the same
plane. It permits some angular movement
between the cylindrical rods (in their plane).
It is specially designed to withstand tensile
loads.Knuckle joint is named so because it is
free to rotate about the axis of a knuckle pin.

1. INTRODUCTION

A knuckle joint is used to connect the two rods

which are under the tensile load, when there
is requirement of small amount of flexibility
or angular movement is necessary. There is
always axial or linear line of action of load.
At one end of the rod the single eye is formed
and double eye is formed at the other end of
the rod. Both, single and double eye are
connected by a pin inserted through eye. The
pin has a head at one end and at other end
there is a taper pin or split pin.
P= (d_0-d)t_1 \times \sigma_t 4 . CONCLUSION
Knuckle joint is widely used in applications various such
as in automobiles and other field. so it should be strong
enough, to sustain various amount of load coming on
system,othewise there is possibility of accidents.
Based on ansys analysis ,it show pin of 25mm dia can
withstand a load of 50kn easily.
Modelling with gives correct design then 3D carried out
on CATIA and analysis is done by ANSYS.
