Design and Analysis of Commercial Automotive Vehicle Brake Pedal 

Abstract

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.

Diseño generativo aplicado en el diseño de un pedal de frenado para automóvil

“…Volumen 6 (4): e299. y geometría de un pedal de frenado comercial [27]. Para el diseño del componente se consideró la adaptación de la geometría a la posición del pie durante el proceso de conducción de un vehículo, siendo la superficie de presión del pedal lo suficientemente amplia para permitir un contacto adecuado.…”
