Fatigue Life Analysis of High Performance Motorcycle Disc Brake

This paper presents fatigue life analysis of high performance motorcycle disc brake. The design parameter such as stress, deformation and safety factory that influences the disk brake on a high performance motorcycle were investigated. The simulation of static structural analysis of high performance motorcycle is successfully presented on 3 proposed materials by using ANSYS software. The static structural analysis is performed on the disc brake rotor with these candidate materials. From the analysis, Martensitic stainless steel, Wrought AISI 410 has the lowest value in Von-Mises stress which is 766.9MPa. Furthermore, it is less deformed which is 0.3429mm and has the factor of safety more than 1. Thus, this project proposes Martensitic Wrought AISI 410 stainless steel as the suitable material for disc brake rotor on HONDA GL1500 VALKYRIE motorcycle.
