It is categorized as a light rail train with a capacity of 70 passengers per capsule. Before it operates, analysis is needed to ensure the vehicle’s safety. Two crucial parts to be analysed are the knuckle plate and the tie rod of the train. The knuckle plate and the tie rod must meet the requirements of the standards based on PM 175 2015. Forces on each component are calculated using equations from free body diagrams. Static and fatigue analysis are then conducted using ANSYS with Finite Element Method based on load cases in UIC Code 615-4 standard. The maximum stresses that occurred are 195.64 MPa for the knuckle plate and 118.54 MPa for the tie rod. In terms of fatigue, based on the modified Goodman failure criteria, the knuckle plate and tie rod are proven to be safe.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Failure criteria,Fatigue analysis,Free body diagrams,Light rail train,Maximum stress,Public transportation systems,Strength analysis,Traffic problems[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work was carried out at the Mechanical Engineering Department Engineering Design Center Laboratory, Faculty of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Institut Teknologi Bandung and was financially supported by PT Trekka and USAID under SHERA Program and Institut Teknologi Bandung through P3MI (Program Penelitian Pengabdian Masyarakat dan Inovasi).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/694/1/012011[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
