Abstract

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 moment is necessary. There is always axial or linear line of action of load. So modelling and analysis of knuckle joint under a certain condition is carried out. Modelling and analysis of a knuckle joint was performed by using 3D software CATIA & Finite Element Analysis (FEA) respectively. For analysis we use Stainless Steel materials. The maximum elastic strain intensity is 0.00052959 m/m and the minimum elastic strain intensity is 5.1094e-10 m/m. The maximum equivalent elastic strain is 0.00038217 m/m and the minimum equivalent elastic strain is 4.4217e-10 m/m. The maximum equivalent (Von Mises) stress is 7.6421e7 Pa and the minimum equivalent (Von Mises) stress is 72.422 Pa. The maximum total deformation is 7.0468e-6 m and the minimum total deformation is 0 m.
