Abstract

Substituting composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of strength to weight ratio. Laminated composites, with their advantage of higher specific stiffness, gained substantiality in the field of torque carrying structures through many applications. Composite drive shafts has the ability of being the lighter and longer life drive train with higher critical speed. This work aim stop provide an alternative of conventional steel drive shaft for an automotive application and investigates for different combinations of composite materials and different stacking sequence opposite torque directional so determine the natural frequency of composite drive shaft with the help of ANSYS 18.1.

Keywords

Composite Drive Shaft, ANSYS 18.1, Finite Element Method, Torsional Rigidity.
