A
Review of the Pad-Arm Joint
- A review of the original design
for the brake pedal showed a potential problem in the section where the the brake pedal
arm joins with the foot pad.
- The original design called for a
direct transition into the foot pad with sharp corners and edges, as shown in the Baseline
Design figure.
- Two options are shown with
different designs for reducing the stress concentrations and providing a smooth transition
between the sections.
| Choose
the design (Option A or Option B)
which will best reduce the stress concentrations and prevent "hot spots" in the
casting. |
