Abstract
The motorcycle suspension system is one of the crucial components. It helps to support the motorcycle's weight, isolate the vibration level caused by road imperfection, and keep the wheel in contact with the road surface. Therefore, the performance of suspension system needs to be enhanced to ensure the ride comfort and safety of riders. Coil spring is one of the essential parts of motorcycle suspension system. In this study, two different materials of coil spring are being focused include steel alloy and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The geometry of the coil spring is the existing design in the market. The static structural analyses are carried out to determine the directional deformation of y-axis, equivalent stress and equivalent elastic stress analysis of the corresponding coil spring material. The obtained results are discussed. It is found that the steel coil spring has better performance for the existing coil spring design. The directional deformation, equivalent stress and equivalent elastic strain of steel coil spring are considered at the lower side, which is 0.029357 mm, 2003MPa and 0.010051 mm/mm respectively. In this study, it is observed that the number of turns of coil spring should be increased to enhance the performance of CFRP coil spring.
