Review Analysis of Light Vehicle Propeller Shaft

Abstract

In recent times, with great focus on the economical saving uses of materials, the increased on the economical saving use of materials, the increased understanding of the machine method and nature of fatigue failure, and improvements in the mechanical design and analysis procedures, the popular thing/general way things are going towards conservatives has been reversed. Ordinary steel propeller-shafts are usually manufactured in two or more pieces to increase the basic bending natural frequency because the bending natural frequency of a shaft is (when one number goes one way, the other number goes the opposite way) to the square of beam length and (fair in amount, related to/properly sized, related to) the square root of clearly started/ particular modulus. Therefore the steel propeller shaft is made in two sections connected by a support structure, bearings and U-joints and because of this over all weight of composite materials. Composite (made up of different things) materials (Glass Epoxy) were used and designed and analyzed for their appropriateness in terms of torsional strength, bending natural frequency, torsional buckling and number of cycle by comparing.
