ANALYSIS OF PLASTIC THROTTLE PEDAL
Nonlinear finite element analysis of plastic throttle pedal assembly involving extensive contact behavior between the pedal arm, body, and cover plate. These high-strength plastic parts were rigorously evaluated to optimize the design for extreme durability.
Modeling notes: material non-linearity was also included in the analysis strategy to better understand the elastic-plastic deformation response of the Nylon 66 throttle pedal.
