Description
Summary:In the present scenario weight of an automobile, Vehicle is a major issue. Many composite materials are used now a day in order to overcome this issue. In this paper, Drive shafts made of SM45C Steel is compared with the Kevlar composite shaft. The Strength and Efficiency of the composite drive shaft is also tested. For this, CATIA v5 is used software for the 3D modeling and ANSYS is used for the analysis.
