Design And Analysis Of Propeller Shaft Using Visco Elastic Damping Materials

Abstract

Automotive drive Shaft is a very important components of vehicle. The overall objective of this paper is to design and analyze a composite drive shaft for power transmission. Substituting composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials. In the present buckling analysis is performed to find out buckling factor. Model and harmonic analysis has done to find out natural frequency of shaft and resonance frequency of different materials. Impulse loading condition also taken into analysis to find out damping factor of particular materials.
