Analysis of the strength of the fastening elements of a mechanical pedal with a cable drive

Strength indicators determination of mechanical pedals structural components of vehicles, in particular the elements of their fastening to the corresponding locations cable drive, is relevant due to the need to comply with the requirements for maximum efforts in accordance with UNECE Regulations No. 13 and No. 35 on the one hand and ensure a sufficient margin of safety according to the technical operating conditions cable drives - on another hand. The topic considered in article acquires additional practical benefit from the point of view of assessing the margin of mechanical pedal components safety under critical operating conditions, which are the basis of boundary conditions in the formation of the task - strength analysis of certain parts by the finite element method in ANSYS environment. It should be understood that the above analysis is only one of mandatory stages of pedal simulation tests, because, being a relatively simple unit, a mechanical pedal really must be designed in such a way that critical loads should destroy the least critical replaceable elements of the assembly, but not the drives and their corresponding aggregates activated via remote control cable.
