<![CDATA[The motorcycle wheel shaft is a vital component that significantly impacts vehicle performance and rider safety. This study is motivated by the need to ensure an optimal wheel shaft design, considering its critical role in transmitting power, bearing loads, and maintaining the motorcycle's stability. The approach used in this research employs the Finite Element Method (FEM) through SolidWorks software to evaluate Von Mises stress, strain, and the factor of safety, with carbon steel a material known for its strength and corrosion resistance as the primary material. The analysis results reveal a maximum stress of 2.827x108 N/m², a maximum Displacement of 4.252x10-3 mm, and a minimum factor of safety of 5.111x102, indicating a reliable design. The study identifies critical areas prone to failure. Using a simulation-based approach, this research underscores the importance of FEM analysis in the development of safe and efficient mechanical components, contributing to enhanced performance and safety of vehicles.]]>
