Accelerator pedal is used to modulate the engine power supply. It is normally paired with brake pedal or sometimes paired with clutch which helps the driver to control the speed excessively. The accelerator pedal consists of three main parts they are pedal plate, pedal arm and pivot shaft. The purpose of the present work is to determine the stress and deformation under different loading conditions using Finite element analysis package called ANSYS. The accelerator pedal design is carried out using CATIA and later it is imported into Hyper mesh to discretize the pedal by using solid 185 element. Discretized elements are later imported into ANSYS and two boundary conditions were applied that is load of 400N and 450N and constrained boundary condition.
