Abstract

A disc brake is a brake that slows down the vehicle’s speed by the friction caused by the brake pads press against the rotating disc with a set of calipers. Disc rotor helps to dissipate the heat which caused by the friction especially under hard braking conditions. This project was performed to investigate the design parameters of the front disc brake of the HONDA GL1500 VALKYRIE motorcycle. Besides that, transient thermal analysis and static structural analysis were performed on the high performance motorcycle disc brake with 3 candidate materials. A suitable material for HONDA GL1500 VALKYRIE motorcycle was proposed after the simulation and analysis. The CAD model of the high performance motorcycle disc brake was created by using the Solidworks 2010 software. Transient thermal analysis and static structural analysis were performed on the disc brake by using ANSYS software. The result of static structural analysis was interpreted in three aspects: stress, deformation and Factor of Safety (FoS). Cyclic loading of disc brake for the suitable material was also defined by simulation analysis. It was found that Martensitic Stainless steel, Wrought AISI 410 was able to withstand the heat and stress in the simulation analysis. Thus, it was proposed that Martensitic Stainless steel, Wrought AISI 410 used as the material for HONDA GL1500 VALKYRIE motorcycle.
