        abstract = {This study focuses on designing, modeling, and analyzing a swing arm for a suspension system using CATIA software, followed by Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis in ANSYS. The materials examined include AL-7075, Cr-Mo Alloy, STEEL AISI 4340, and INCONEL 718. The analysis evaluates von Mises stress, total deformation, shear strain, and equivalent elastic strain for each material to assess their mechanical performance. The results reveal that AL-7075, Cr-Mo Alloy, and STEEL AISI 4340 exhibit higher values of these mechanical parameters compared to INCONEL 718. Despite this, INCONEL 718 stands out for its exceptional strength, durability, and resilience, making it highly suitable for handling heavy loads and providing reliable support in swing arm applications. However, its higher weight relative to other materials could affect the overall system performance. The study concludes that INCONEL 718 offers a well-rounded balance of mechanical properties, including the ability to return to its original shape after deformation, along with cost-effectiveness and availability. Therefore, it is recommended as the preferred material for the swing arm, considering its superior strength, durability, and practicality in real-world applications.},
