Abstract
In this study, experimental analyses and numerical simulations of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) pedal pins with optimum production parameters are performed concerning mechanical properties. The aim of this study is twofold: first, the effect of the three-dimensional (3D) manufacturing process, which has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the 3D-printed part, is realized experimentally. Second, the mechanical behavior of the 3D-printed clutch pedal pin is evaluated using both numerical simulation and experimental tests, which is an important application for lightweight vehicles. It is observed that the determined production parameters can significantly improve the mechanical behavior of the materials and the pin of the vehicle pedal mechanism can be replaced with a lighter structure. Thus, the results obtained in this paper are of the utmost importance for the manufacturer to choose the optimum manufacturing parameters of three-dimensional printed materials and their application to vehicle pedals and other possible parts.
本研究对具有最佳生产参数的聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯（PETG）踏板栓的机械性能进行了实验分析和数值模拟。本研究的目的有两个：首先，通过实验了解三维（3D）制造工艺对 3D 打印部件机械性能的重要影响。其次，利用数值模拟和实验测试评估了三维打印离合器踏板销的机械性能，这对于轻量化汽车来说是一项重要应用。结果表明，确定的生产参数可以显著改善材料的机械性能，车辆踏板机构的销可以用更轻的结构替代。因此，本文获得的结果对于制造商选择三维印刷材料的最佳生产参数以及将其应用于汽车踏板和其他可能的部件具有极其重要的意义。
