Non-Linear FEA Analysis of a Drive Shaft Made Of Composite Material Using Ansys

Abstract

an automobile drive shaft is used to transmit torque from the gear box to differential. A drive shaft is subjected to different types of loadings like bending load, torsional load, impact load and fatigue load. To survive under these loading a drive shaft has to have high module but at the same time mass of the drive shaft should not be high. These properties of material are readily found in composite materials. So it is very much advantageous in substituting drive shaft made of conventional isotropic or alloy material with composite material for its higher specific stiffness and strength. In the present work a drive shaft made of high modulus carbon/epoxy composite material in numerical software named ANSYS. Further the drive shaft has been tapered with different taper angle and then it has been simulated in ANSYS for buckling analysis and modal analysis. Lastly different results have been compared.
