Abstract

This paper describes the failure analysis of the rear axle at the root of the spline of a tractor with a loaded trolley used for haulage operation. The analysis has been made using the principles of mechanics. The reason behind  the failure has been  found to be the weight transfer from front to rear, reduction of which is considered to be a remedial measure for the occurrence failure.
