Temporary (detachable) joint: 2.1.1. Knuckle joint 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. Figure 2.1 Knuckle joint The knuckle joint assembly consists of following major components: 1. Single eye. 2. Double eye or fork. 3. Knuckle pin. 4. Collar. And 5. Tapper pin. At one end of the rod the single eye is…
