Over the years, designers have been developing various brake pedals in a bid to eliminate the operator’s risk of pressing the wrong pedal and to reduce his or her braking reaction time. One of the effective methods for reducing weight of trucks brake pedal is to change the design structure of it. The brake pedal is designed and analysed using Ansys 14.0. Different materials are used for the effective design of brake pedal with weight reduction of pedal and improved grip between foot and the pedal. The FEA results obtained and discussed herein confer optimum, cost effective design solution, easy to manufacture, and exhibits better grip.
