Design Check for King Pin

3.8
Weight of the Trailer with all accessories = 2021 kN
= 206.0 Ton
Assume Truck break the trailer as breaks of trailer have failed

Trailer Maximum speed = 30 km/hr

= 8.3 m/sec

Trailer Stopping Time = 15 sec

Velocity of trailer v = u + at v = Final Velocity

u = Initial Velocity
a = Acceleration/Deceleration
t = Accelerating Time
g = Gravitational Acceleration
Here u = 8.3 m/sec
v = 0 m/sec
t = 15 sec
g = 9.81 m/sec2
2
a = (v - u )/t = -0.556 m/sec (Deceleration)

Force for Deceleration Wxa/g = -114.45 kN

The pin fail due to shear force acting on it.

Maximum pulling force = 20% of vertical dead load = 404.2 kN

Total Shear force acting on King pin

F = Maximum Pulling force + Deceleration force = 518.65 kN

With 1.5 as safety factor
F = 1.5 x 518.65 = 777.98 kN
King Pin Data
Dia of Pin, d = 88.9 mm
Yield Strength , fy = 350 N/mm2
Shear Strength , s = 140 N/mm2
Area of the Pin, apin = 6207.17 mm2

Stress in Pin, F/apin = 125.34 N/mm2

SAFE
Design of Chains to hold at Mast Bunk area,against toppling:
Maximum load at mast bunk area (unfactored) = 42 MT
Horizontal thrust on chain = 20% of total load = 8.4 MT
Use chain with minimum load carrying capacity as 10MT or 2 Nos. of Chain with W.L.L 8 Ton each.

When vehicle is on slope (15 deg),max.vert.force=1952.136 KN

Horizontal component =2021 KN xSin 15=523 KN(Say 52.3 Ton)
So Total Nos. of Chain (Including on dolly) with W.L.L 8 Ton each.=52.3/8 =6.54
So it is recommended to use a total of 8 Chains with 8Ton capacity each ,including dolly part.
