Numerical and Buckling Analysis of Composite Hybrid Propeller Shaft

Abstract

Composites structures have many advantages because of higher stiffness and strength of composite materials. This work deals with the replacement of conventional steel drive shafts with a hybrid aluminium/carbon fibre propeller shaft for an automotive application and was developed with a new manufacturing method, In which the carbon fibre layers is wrapped on the aluminium tube in order to attain the maximum strength. In this present work an attempt has been made to estimate the deflection, stresses, and natural frequencies under subjected loads using FEA (Ansys) for hybrid shaft and comparison is been made with conventional steel drive shaft in order to verify the optimum results.
