Design and Optimization of Composite Propeller Shaft
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
Automotive propeller shaft is a very important component of vehicle. It is used for power transmission from gear box to differential. Conventional steel propeller shafts are usually manufactured in two pieces to increase the fundamental bending natural frequency. But the two-piece steel propeller shaft involves three universal joints, an intermediary thrust bearing and a supporting bracket in its assemblage, which increases the total weight of the vehicle. The overall objective of this project is to design and analyze a composite propeller shaft for power transmission. Substituting composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials. This work deals with the design of propeller shaft for “MAHINDRA LOAD KING” considering the torque capacity, shear stress & critical rpm requirement. In this work Glass/Epoxy is used as composite material for replacement of conventional two-piece steel propeller shafts. The design parameters were optimized with the objective of minimizing the weight of composite propeller shaft.
