Analisis kekuatan Alumunium 6061 dan AISI 1020 pada Rangka Sepeda Listrik Roda Tiga menggunakan Software ANSYS

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strength of Aluminum Alloy 6061 and AISI 1020 Steel materials used in the frame of a three-wheeled electric motorcycle, especially for elderly mobility. The three-wheeled electric motorcycle frame was designed using Solidworks software, then static structural analysis was carried out using ANSYS software with the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. The parameters analyzed include Von-Mises stress, displacement, and safety factor of each material. The simulation results show that Aluminum 6061 has a maximum stress of 45.807 MPa, a maximum displacement of 0.44568 mm, and a minimum safety factor of 4.52. While AISI 1020 Steel has a maximum stress of 46.957 MPa, a maximum displacement of 0.16485 mm, and a higher minimum safety factor than Aluminum 6061. Based on the analysis results, Aluminum 6061 is superior in terms of light weight and flexibility, while AISI 1020 Steel offers better structural strength with smaller deformation and higher safety margin. Material selection depends on the design priorities and application needs of the three-wheeled electric motorcycle frame.
