Abstract
Currently in our world as the modern technology is becoming sophisticated the material utilized is also becoming the main focus for many researchers to search for efficient and reliable materials. Automotive driveshaft is one of the very important components of an automobile which draws attention to enhance its material from the point of view of its weight and strength. The objective of this paper is to design and analyze a composite driveshaft for power transmission to get maximum efficiency, weight reduction, increasing comfort, decrease noise and part complexity of the vehicle. This thesis deals with the replacement of two piece steel drive shaft with a composite material made of E-glass fiber/epoxy with one piece and to investigate mechanical properties like tensile, bending and compression strength test of composite material on experimental basis by preparing specimen of composite shaft as per ASTM using hand lay-up technique. The driveshaft selected is applicable to Mahindra xylo D2BS-III vehicle which is at present using steel driveshaft. The numerically designed drive shaft is first designed for steel, glass fiber/epoxy and hybrid/epoxy composite material for its safe dimensions, then part model created was for respective dimensions in CATIA V5R19 software. After modeling, the part is imported to ANSYS and modal analysis; buckling and harmonic response analysis is carried out using ANSYS R15.0 workbench. The result had shown a mass reduction of 46% and better mechanical property of the composite material. In conclusion the two-piece driveshaft can be replaced by single piece composite made resulted in weight reduction which can also eliminates part complexity.
