About this document

Composite Drive Shaft Innovations by Ravi Parkhe is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses the design of a composite drive shaft as an alternative to a steel drive shaft. Steel drive shafts have limitations like weight and needing to be manufactured in two pieces if longer than 1500mm. Composite materials could address these issues by reducing weight for better fuel efficiency, allowing single-piece manufacturing, and providing increased fatigue resistance. The proposed design uses an aluminum tube wound with glass and carbon fiber-epoxy composite at varying angles. Finite
