Force Analysis and Optimization of BSC Brake Pedal Based on ANSYS

Abstract

In the BSC rules of the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineering, it is stipulated that the brake pedal should be designed to withstand a maximum brake pedal force of 450 LBF (2000 N). In order to ensure that the pedal design conforms to the rules of the event, it is necessary to use ANSYS finite element analysis software to conduct force analysis on the pedal design to ensure that it meets both the rules of the event and the safety design as well as the lightweight design. Therefore, through the finite element analysis of the pedal model in ANSYS environment, the structural stress and deformation data under the pedal force were obtained, and according to the stress and deformation cloud map, the pedal structure was optimized and the optimal material was selected, so as to obtain the brake pedal with high comprehensive performance and meet the competition rules.
