Abstract

Brake system is an important safety system in every vehicle for controls of the vehicle movement. During emergency brake, force that acts on the rear brake pedal in motorcycle is maximum. In this situation, the force should be reacted by the brake pedal to avoid failure. This paper presents a strength analysis of a motorcycle brake pedal by using finite element method. A comparison study of design at structure of brake pedal was conducted. The existing motorcycle brake pedal are measured and created the using CATIA V5R16 to get the complete design. The design of pedal was then exported to MCS Patran&Nastran. Finite element method is used to validate the design whether it is strong enough when maximum load was applied. The critical area at brake pedal when maximum force applied was determined. The results show that the improvement by apply a radius at bend area between the pipe brake and collar pivot can decrease the maximum stress on brake pedal at critical area.
