Abstract(summary):

A vehicle's brake pedal transfers the force from a human being to the braking mechanism, and as such is considered as a safety component in the vehicle. In the past, vehicle weight-reduction initiatives resulted in a highly optimised design of steel brake pedal with an increased strength-to-weight ratio. However, any further reduction in the weight of the brake pedal is only possible by using combined, that is hybrid, materials. Hybrid technologies enable the design of lighter and cheaper brake pedals within the strict limits of the safety and technical requirements. This article presents an example of an innovative mechanical joint with a metal insert moulded into a polymer base structure that could be applied for a brake-pedal design. The metal insert contributes the required strength, while the polymer part provides the final form. However, the design of the metal insert not only provides the strength of the component, but also ensures the proper bonding of the metal-to-polymer joint. This article presents a comparison of the strength for simple and optimised forms of the metal insert within the hybrid joint. The strength comparisons were performed using numerical simulations, which were also experimentally validated.
