Question: Design a socket and spigot cotter joint to connect two steel rods of equal diameter shown in Fig . 1 . Each rod is subjected

Design a socket and spigot cotter joint to connect two steel rods of equal diameter shown in Fig.1. Each rod is subjected to an axial tensile force of 40 kN . Select the material as plain carbon steel of grade 30C8 for all the parts of cotter joint having yield strength in tension as 400Nmm2. Assume that the yield strength in compression is twice the yield strength in tension. The factor of safety for rods, spigot end and socket end is assumed as 6 and for cotter factor of safety is taken as 4. Design all the parts and draw a neat sketch of an assembly drawing.
