DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE AUTOMOBILE DRIVE SHAFT

CAD CAM CAE

In Automobile field manufacture of automobile drive shafts are required to be smarter, as manufactured earlier conventionally. Drive shaft is basically manufactured using conventional material. In Automobile field manufacture of automobile drive shaft are required to be smarter as manufactured earlier conventionally. Drive shaft is basically manufactured using conventional material. Composite material provides a better alternative and also achieving weight reduction. In this present work attention is focused on study of theoretical and experimental work, torsional analysis on EN-8 steel drive shaft and Al-Glass fibre composite drive shaft. Study parameters like deflection, natural frequency under varying load using ANSYS will be done. Experimental testing will be done to torsional test machine noting Angle of Twist reflecting the deformation. Eventually weight reduction achieved is near to 30 %
