Abstract

The project is to design the motorcycle alloy wheel using the CA TIA and analyzed with the Finite Element Analysis. Finite element analysis is a tool used for the evaluation of systems and structures. It is needed to analyze complex structures, whereas very simple ones. There are three processes involved which are pre· processing, analysis and visualization. The CATIA is used because specialized modules, sophisticated shape modeling, can be designed for large teams and easy to use. There was two way analyzed which were analysis the rim statically in a straight road and cornering. The chosen material was an Aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy is better to the conventional steel wheels in strength and durability. It has excellent wear resistance, anticorrosion properties and longer service life as estimated by the stress frequency distribution. The analysis is done with the maximum load can be applied on rim. The rear wheel and front wheel have their own maximum load that can be supported. It is because the rear wheel is carrying a person. While the front wheel only the weight of the front motorcycle like mark guard and motorcycle handle that assembles to it.It was found that the stress of the analysis is still in the range of the yield strength of Aluminum alloy. The displacement is at the low value. This design is still in the safe condition. The project is to sharpen skill using CAD (CATIA) and CAE (FEA), practice to be creative in design the motorcycle alloy wheel and analyze the result of FEA. It is recommended if analyze with different material and can be manufactured for further study.
