MEC-307 Design of Machine Element 6 Semester (3 Year) : Name: Chirag Shetty Urn No: 2020-B-26101996

This document discusses the design of cotter and knuckle joints. It defines each joint, analyzes the forces acting on them, selects plain carbon steel as the material, determines potential failure modes, selects a factor of safety of 3, and outlines determining the dimensions through design and analysis. The cotter joint discussion includes the socket, spigot and cotter components, while the knuckle joint covers the forked end with a double eye and single eye component connected by a pin.

COTTER JOINT
Definition of Problem:

 A cotter joint, also known as a socket and spigot joint, is a method of


temporarily joining two coaxial rods. One rod is fitted with a spigot,
which fits inside a socket on one end of the other rod. Slots in the
socket and the spigot align so that a cotter can be inserted to lock the
two rods together.
 The cotter used within a cotter joint is typically an elongated wedge,
which can be driven into the slots.

Synthesis:
Analysis of Forces:

SOCKET END :

Rod is subjected to tensile force P to the left.The sum of all the


horizontal forces acting on a rod must be zero .Therefore ,there should
be a force P to the right of the socket. This force acts as P/2 on both
sides of the socket

SPIGOT END :

Rod is subjected to tensile force P to the right .The sum of all the
horizontal forces acting on a rod must be zero .Therefore ,there should
be a force P to the left of the spigot end.

COTTER :
Forces acting on the cotter are equal and opposite. They are opposite
reactions acting on the spigot end of rod B and socket end of rod A

Selection of Material:

Plain Carbon Steel:

These steels contain about 0.1% carbon with 0.3-0.4% manganese and are cold worked
low carbon steels.
Yield strength :300 MPa
Tensile strength :370 MPa
Because of high ductility, these steels find applications in the form of cold-rolled sheets.

Determining modes of failure:

 Failure of the rods in tension


 Failure of the spigot in tension across the weakest section
 Failure of the rod or cotter in crushing
 Failure of the socket in tension across the slot
 Failure of cotter in shear
 Failure of the socket collar in crushing
 Failure of socket end in shearing
 Failure of rod end in shear
 Failure of spigot collar in crushing
 Failure of the spigot collar in shearing
 Failure of Knuckle Pin.

Selection of factor of Safety:

Factor of safety = 03

Determination of dimensions:
DESIGN AND ANALYSIS:
KNUCKLE JOINT

Definition of Problem:

 A knuckle joint is a type of pin joint used to join two components that are loaded
in tension. One component has a fork with a hole passing through both sides,
forming a double eye, while the other component has a single eye .
 The single eye is inserted between the double eyes so that all three holes are
concentric and a pin is used to secure the components.
 Knuckle joints are often used to connect rods subjected to tension in structures
such as roof ties, bridges, and cranes. The links of a chain are also considered a
series of knuckle joints.

Determination of modes of failure:

 Failure of the solid rod in tension


 Failure of the knuckle pin in shear
 Failure of the single eye or rod end in tension
 Failure of the single eye or rod end in shearing
 Failure of the single eye or rod end in crushing
 Failure of the forked end in tension
 Failure of the forked end in shear
 Failure of the forked end in crushing
