The clevis and pin are under contant tension, but the magnitude does change slightly. Essentially it is a static load with a maximum value high enough to allow for reasonable dynamics.
I would imagine the pin is 5.25" so as to support the size of original load without exceeding the yield point of the pin or shearing the pin.
Is there something else that should be checked for in relation to the clearance of the proposed smaller pin? Or, is it just a matter of the previously...
This is not a topic I have any experience in so I'm hoping someone could give me a book reference as to the theory behind the design of these or something along those lines.
I need to determine whether or not a pin of 5.00" diameter can be used in a hole designed for a 5.25" diameter pin.
I...
