Abstract
The Taguchi method is applied to obtain the optimal design of an automotive pedal arm in consideration of the stiffness test specification. Design parameters are defined to describe shape of the pedal arm. Volume, maximum Von-Mises stress and maximum displacement of the pedal arm are established as the smaller-the-better characteristics. Optimal parameters are determined on the basis of the analyzed level averages of the characteristics.
