Design of pedal system for Pneumobil race car using topology optimisation
Pchálek, Václav ; Červinek, Ondřej (referee) ; Vaverka, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis deals with design of pedal assembly of pneumobile racing car to increase its rigidity and reduce its weight. Based on the search, the kinematics of pedal was changed due to more precise determination of pedal ratio. Topology optimization and lattice structure were used to achieve the goals. The results were checked by strength analysis using finite element method. To produce topologically optimized parts use of metal additive technology is assumed, for which the parts have been further modified. Deformation was reduced by 13,4 % for the brake pedal and by 96,8 % for the accelerator pedal. The weight of the pedal system has been reduced by 31 %. This pedal assembly design could be an alternative to the current pedal assembly, as it is lighter and meets the requirements for higher rigidity.
