Design and Analysis of Propeller Shaft for Automobile

Abstract

Almost all automobiles have transmission shafts. The propeller shaft have some loss due to weight. The weight reduction of the drive shaft can have a certain role in general weight reduction of the vehicle and is a highly desirable goal. Exploring composite materials in order to obtain reduction of weight without significant decrease in vehicle quality and reliability. To start the vehicle the most of the power consumed in driving transmission system, if we able to reduce the weight of the propeller shaft that surplus available power can be used to propel the vehicle.
