Very Urgent- Shown below is an assembly of an accelerator with labelled components. The assembly consists of: foot pedal (i), hydraulic lever arm (ii), base plate (iii), nut & bolt (iv).

The base plate is firmly fixed to the floor of the vehicle. The pedal is connected to the base plate via a bolt which allows the pedal to rotate freely about the x-axis. The pedal is also connected to the hydraulic reservoir via a pivot. The pivot fixes translational degrees-of-freedom, but allows the pedal to freely rotate in all directions (pivot bolt is not shown). The pedal has a constant thickness of 5mm, while the overall length of the pedal is 250mm. The hole diameters in the foot pedal are 5 & 15mm for the small and large holes. The base plate can be considered thick compared to the foot pedal. Part (iv), the nut and bolt, can be considered overdesigned and therefore a detailed stress analysis of it is not required. Part (ii), the hydraulic lever arm, can only deform axially. Stress analysis is required of the pedal component for normal foot operation when the pedal cannot be compressed any further. The direction of the pedal force is indicated on the diagram.

Describe and justify the element types you would use for the foot pedal, hydraulic lever arm and base plate (they can be different) and explain loads and boundary conditions. Explain how you would model the nut & bolt. Explain and justify your meshing strategy for each component referring to the underlying element formulation. Finite element models are commonly used to optimise geometric features within a structure. Explain the process you would use to efficiently optimise the thickness of the foot pedal based on the element you have chosen Note: Please you answer this and also with a method on how to answer this question. thanks Show image transcript
