Abstract

This paper presents the review of the studies carried out on the replacement of conventional steel driveshaft of
automobiles with an appropriate composite driveshaft with different combinations of fibres at a time. For reducing
the bending natural frequency the conventional steel shafts are made in two pieces, where to reduce the overall
weight the composite material drive shaft is made in single piece.Various composites were designed and analyzed for
their appropriateness in terms of torsional strength, bending natural frequency and torsional buckling by comparing
them with the conventional steel driveshaft under the same grounds of design constraints and the best-suited
composite was recommended. Light has been thrown upon the aspects like mass saving, number of plies and ply
distribution.
