Abstract
In this research article we have performed a comparative analysis of structural performance of knuckle joint by using different materials. The 3d modeling of knuckle joint was done using Catia V5. Thereafter we used this geometry for structural performance analysis using Ansys 14.0. the conventional material of knuckle joint i.e. grey cast iron(eye and fork) and structural steel (collar, collar pin and cylindrical pin) was replaced by carbon fibre and alumina (Saffil) for numerical analysis. The results show lower total deformation with carbon fibre and alumina Saffil with comparison to conventional material of knuckle joint. The stresses and strains were also found to be optimum which leads to increase of structural strength of knuckle joint
