Thickness of Cotter Joint given Bending Stress in Cotter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Cotter = (2*Diameter of Socket Collar+Diameter of Spigot)*((Load on Cotter Joint)/(4*Mean Width of Cotter^2*Bending Stress in Cotter))
t_c = (2*d₄+d₂)*((L)/(4*b^2*σ_b))
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Thickness of Cotter - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Cotter is the measure of how much broad is the cotter in direction perpendicular to axial force.
Diameter of Socket Collar - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of socket collar is the external diameter of collar of the socket of a cotter joint.
Diameter of Spigot - (Measured in Meter) - The diameter of Spigot is defined as the diameter of the external surface of the spigot or the inner diameter of the socket.
Load on Cotter Joint - (Measured in Newton) - Load on cotter joint is basically the amount of load/force any part or joint, can bear or is acted upon or exerts.
Mean Width of Cotter - (Measured in Meter) - The mean Width of Cotter is defined as the average width of the cotter of a cotter joint.
Bending Stress in Cotter - (Measured in Pascal) - Bending Stress in Cotter is defined as the stress that is induced in the cotter subjected to loads that cause it to bend.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Socket Collar: 80 Millimeter --> 0.08 Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Spigot: 40 Millimeter --> 0.04 Meter (Check conversion here)
Load on Cotter Joint: 50000 Newton --> 50000 Newton No Conversion Required
Mean Width of Cotter: 48.5 Millimeter --> 0.0485 Meter (Check conversion here)
Bending Stress in Cotter: 98 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 98000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_c = (2*d₄+d₂)*((L)/(4*b^2*σ_b)) --> (2*0.08+0.04)*((50000)/(4*0.0485^2*98000000))

Evaluating ... ...

t_c = 0.0108450224600415

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0108450224600415 Meter -->10.8450224600415 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

10.8450224600415 ≈ 10.84502 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Cotter

Socket and Spigot Cotter Joint

A cotter joint knows as a socket and spigot joint, is a method of temporarily joining two coaxial rods, one end of the rod provided with a socket type and the other end of the other rod inserted into the socket. The end of the rod goes into a socket also called a spigot.
A rectangular hole is built into the socket and spigot. A cotter is tightly operating through a hole to make a temporary connection between the two rods. The load is usually acting axially, but it changes its direction. And so, the cotter joint should design to carry both tensile and compressive loads. Compressive load taking by the caller on the spigot.
