Volume 1 Issue 3 JETIR (ISSN-2349-5162) Study and Analysis of Pin of Knuckle Joint in Train 1 Ravindra S. Dharpure, 2Prof D. M. Mate 1 M. Tech., PCE, 2PCE.Nagpur Abstract - The current paper presents the problem of the failure of the knuckle pin in a railway coupling due to shearing. As per the functionality of the knuckle pin the pin is suitable for retaining of the knuckle and no loading conditions is determined over it but due to the manufacturability of the knuckle itself the failure of knuckle is undertaken thus the possible solution is presented in this thesis. The papers related this topic is studied for any recent advancement in the knuckle coupler pin while no relevant problem is defined and possible remedy is determined I. PROBLEM FORMULATION The main motive of this paper is to improve the performance of the knuckle pin in the couplings of the railway couplings. The current mechanism of coupling is briefly defined and methodologically treatment is determined for failure of knuckle pin in the coupling. The aim of this chapter is to conceptually define remedy for the failure problem of the knuckle coupling. II. WORKING OF THE MECHANISM The knuckle coupling forms the interlinking in between any of the wagons in railways. The figure 1 presents the mechanism of the knuckle couplings with its various components nomenclature. Fig 1 the mechanism of the knuckle couplings As shown in the above fig. clear vision of knuckle, knuckle pin and the coupler is available. As per the functionality of these three components the coupler is main connector with the wagon of any railway coach, engine, etc. The knuckle is the actual load transferor in between the couplings and the function of the knuckle pin is to hold the knuckle at the position while knuckle is under fluctuating load of wagons. The maximum loading is of 47000 kg (461070 N). The individual component with relevant problem of failure is as explained Fig 2 Knuckle JETIR1403002 Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research (JETIR) www.jetir.org 167

Volume 1 Issue 3 JETIR (ISSN-2349-5162) Fig 6 Isometric view of coupler The knuckle pin assembled in the knuckle coupling joint is shown in the figure 3.8. As mentioned earlier the knuckle pin is for retaining of the knuckle – coupler assembly. The possible failure of knuckle pin is in shearing of the pin. The complete assembly of the joint is in figure. Fig 7 Knuckle pin The loading conditions are mentioned in the figure 8. As shown in the figure the actual loading is to be transferred through the knuckle to the coupler without hampering the knuckle pin. Thus the purpose of the knuckle pin is to retain the knuckle in actual working conditions. But the failure in the pin is founded in the actual working conditions which is to be determined for the possible remedy. This failure of knuckle pin is studied from the actual assembly of the knuckle coupling as shown in the figure 3.10 JETIR1403002 Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research (JETIR) www.jetir.org 169

Volume 1 Issue 3 JETIR (ISSN-2349-5162) Fig 8 Assembly structure of knuckle coupling joint The figure 9 shows the actual assembly of knuckle coupler. The problem identified is within the knuckle where at the posterior of the knuckle at the contact at the guide way slot the clearance is providing the unnecessary displacement in the knuckle with respective to the coupler of approximate 5 mm. This defect is caused due to possible reasons including manufacturability of the knuckle and/or coupler. The another possible reason could be the sliding of the knuckle and coupler causing surface to be deformed and creating clearance. Fig 9 Knuckle Coupler Thus due to the presence of the clearance the load is transferred to the knuckle pin and probably failing the knuckle pin due the shearing as shown in the figure 10.

ANALYSIS OF KNUCKLE PIN The Knuckle pin is modelled as shown in the figure 11 with geometric dimensioning as follows: Diameter 41 mm Length 307 mm Fig 11 Knuckle pin As per the contact surface of knuckle and coupler the length wise contact areas are defined as from top 60 mm for coupler, next 187 mm shaft for knuckle and again next 60 mm for coupler. Constraining of the geometry is necessary as per the contact defined in previous paragraph. The coupler is rigid representing the wagon condition and the knuckle length is constrained for displacement of 5 mm defining the clearance in-between the knuckle and coupler. The load condition applied of 47 tons which is the maximum working load condition. The analysis undertaken is under static analysis as the deflection caused is due to fluctuating condition of the knuckle and coupler is to be represented. The Analysis results are determined in the figures below. The Figure 12 shows the Deformation of knuckle pin under loading condition as per the constraining mentioned above. The results of deformation show the maximum of deflection of 5 mm which is equivalent to the clearance in between the knuckle and coupler. The bending results explain the behaviour of the knuckle pin. Fig 12 the Deformation of knuckle pin The figure 13 determines the stress evolved in the knuckle pin. The Von-Mises stress are to be recognised for the maximum stress conditions. The stress locations are recognised as the shearing planes at the mating planes of the coupler and knuckle. The shear failure of the knuckle pin is essential the result for the same is displayed in the figure 14. The stress locations are represented in the figure in pale yellow color.

Volume 1 Issue 3 JETIR (ISSN-2349-5162) Fig 14 The results and discussions determine the application of the alternate material availability for the knuckle pin with requirement of deformability of 5 mm without failure. A proper elastic material can be used instead steel to withstand the required condition and sustain the accurate functionality of the problem. V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS As per the defined conditions and analysis the present steel material can be substituted with a proper elastic material. The presently for the problem of shear failure of the pin alternatively plastic knuckle pin that will accept bending fatigue, thereby reducing pin failure can be used. The pin made of a plastic material having a flexibility that will allow it to bend and return to its original shape and to also be self- lubricating. Further, the pin eliminates rust and corrosion and produces a low coefficient of friction between the pin and the coupler body and knuckle, thus enhancing opening and closing of the knuckle by reducing rotational resistance, thereby promoting safety. It has been known that steel pins, either at the time of installation or after service, can cause a “lazy knuckle”, i.e., a knuckle that will not open all the way on decoupling. Thereafter, it is usually impossible for the knuckle to close in a coupling operation which necessitates a yard worker to reach in with his hand and pull the knuckle into fully open position, and usually when another car is coming to couple. While it is against the rules to pull open a knuckle under those circumstances, the worker often tries, which many times has resulted in the worker’s hand and/or arm being injured and even taken off.
