Design and Analysis of Composite Drive Shaft for Automotive Application

Abstract

Our research work mainly focuses to design and analyses a composite drive shaft for power transmission in automobiles. The composite shaft has high specific stiffness and high specific strength when compared to ordinary steel shaft. In this present work the conventional two-piece steel drive shafts is replaced with a single composite drive shaft. Analysis has been carried out to estimate deflection, stresses under subjected loads & natural frequencies using FEA and the results are compared with steel shaft to validate our project. Substituting composite structures for conventional metallic structures has much advantage because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials. This work deals with replacement of conventional two piece steel drive shaft with a single-piece e-glass/epoxy, high strength carbon/epoxy and high modulus carbon/epoxy composite drive shaft for automobile shaft for an automotive application. The design parameters were optimized with the objective on minimizing the weight of composite drive shaft.
