Week 6

Week 6
With the new design, the group had to do finite element analysis on each part to verify that the entire assembly will be able to withstand a 450-pound force on the break pedal. Figure 1 shows a part of finite element analysis on the main structure of the pedal box. After completing the finite element analysis, the group showed the design to Dr. Tan to make sure the parts could be ordered. Once receiving the approval, the next step was to start a rough draft of the final report which will be due next week.
