A cotter joint is a type of joint used to connect rods or pins. This document discusses and illustrates different modes of failure for a cotter joint, including tensile breaking of the spigot or rod outside the joint, tensile breaking of the spigot or socket across the slot, double shearing of the cotter pin or socket, shearing away of the collar in the spigot or shearing away of the socket, crushing of the cotter pin against the rod end or socket, and shearing of the spigot or socket end. Diagrams are provided to depict each failure mode.
