Knuckle Joint Knuckle Joint Knuckle Joint Knuckle Joint

The document describes a knuckle joint, which is a mechanical joint that connects two intersecting rods in the same plane and allows angular movement within the plane. It can transmit tensile or compressive loads. Common applications include cycle chains, tractors, trusses, and cranes. The document then lists various failure modes for different parts of the knuckle joint, including failures of rods, knuckle pins, rod eyes, and forked ends due to shear, bending, crushing, or tension forces.
