• Used to connect tworods under tensile
load.
• Permits angular
misalignment of the
rods and may takecompressive load if
it is guided.

Knuckle JoinS???Two or more rods subjected to tensile and
compressive forces are fastened together Their axes are not
in alignments but
meet in a point
The oint allows a
small angularmoment of one rod
relative to another
It can be easily
connected and
disconnected

• Used for different types of connections e.g. tie
rods, tension links in bridge structure.
• One of the rods has an eye at the rod end and
legs.
• A pin (knuckle pin) is inserted through the rod-
end eye and fork-end eyes and is secured by acollar and a split pin.

• In the knuckle joint illustrated, the rods are
integral with the eye and fork (forged
construction).
• However, the knuckle joint is often separate to
t e ro s, an t e ro s nee to e we e orscrewed into the eye and fork.

Talk about its Design!!!!!
• Normally, empirical
relations are available tofind different dimensionsof the joint and they are
sa e rom esign point oview.
• The proportions are givenin the figure-1

Empirical Relations!!
(White Hair Relations☺☺☺☺ )
• d = diameter of rod
• d1 = d t =1.25d
• d2 = 2d t1 = 0.75d
• 3 = .5. t2 = .5• Mean diameter of the split pin = 0.25 d
• The analyses are discussed in following section
assuming the same materials for the rods and pinsand the yield stresses in tension, Compression andshear are given by σt, σc and τ.

The design may be carried out using the empirical proportions and then the
analytical relations may be used as checks.
For example using the 2nd equation we have.
We may now put value of d1 from empirical relation and then
find
which should be more than one.

• Two mild steel rods are connected by a knuckle joint
to transmit an axial force of 100 kN. Design the joint
completely assuming the working stresses for boththe pin and rod materials to be 100 MPa in tension,
65 MPa in shear and 150 MPa in crushing.

Calci,..Paper,..Pen!!
For failure of rod in tension, On substituting P=100 kN
σy = 100 MPa we have d= 35.6 mm.Choose the rod diameter d = 40 mm which is the next standard size.
Use the empirical relations to find the necessary dimensionsand then check the failure criteria.

Here they are…This is ‘em…!!!
d1= 40 mm t= 50 mm
2 = mm t1= mmd3 = 60 mm t2= 20 mm
