Abstract: From the past decade, Automobile industries are putting a lot of efforts to produce lower weight vehicles to increase the productivity and the efficiency. So, there is an importance of vehicles to design with lower weight by eliminating considerable amount of material from its components. In this connection a brake pedal which is very important component is chosen with existing design used for retarding or stopping a vehicle. In this work a new design is proposed for an existing automobile brake pedal which is optimized based on topological optimization approach by considering mass as a parameter. The material type selected as a structural steel which is unaltered. The modeling of the brake pedal is done with the aid of Computer Aided Design (CAD) software i.e. ANSYS Space Claim Direct Modeler (SCDM) which is very user friendly in editing the geometry while performing topology optimization. Simulation is done by using ANSYS 2020R1. At last a low weight brake pedal with new design is suggested without change in its shape and performance requirements of an existing brake pedal.
