So,dRod
= 15.45 say 16 =mm.
Diameter 16mm
So, Rod Diameter = 16mm
(2) Failure of the Knuckle Pin in shear:
Because of tensile load P, knuckle pin may fail in double shear.
dp = Knuckle pin diameter
P = 2 x (Π/4) x dp2 x τ
So, dp = 12.61mm
Now, P = (D1-dp) x t x σ t
15000 = (32-16) x 20 x σ t
σ t = 46.88 N/mm2 ≤ [σ t ]
(4) Failure of the single eye hole and knuckle pin crushing:
P = dp x t x σ c
15000 = 16 x 20 x σ c
σc = 46.88 n/mm2
So, σ c ≤ [σ c]
15000 = 2 x 20 x 10 x σ t
σ t = 37.5 N/mm2
So, σ t ≤ [σ t]
15000 = 2 x ( 32-16) x 10 x σ t
σ t = 46.88 N/mm2
So, σ t ≤ [σ t]
So, the fork eye end at pin hole section is safe in tensile failure.
(6) Failure of the single eye end in double shear:
P = 2 x { (D1 – dp )/2 } x t x τ
15000 = 2 x { ( 32-16) / 2 } x 20 x τ
τ = 46.88 N/mm2
So, τ≤ [τ]
So, the single eye end is safe in double shear.
