Abstract
Metro Kapsul is a public transportation system developed to solve traffic problems and save travel time in Bandung. 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.
