1. DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND PRACTICAL TESTING OF COMPOSITE SHAFT FOR WEIGHT OPTIMIZATION

Throughout this experimental study, a bending analysis was carried out for Glass fiber or Carbon Fiber composite drive shafts. The Composite shafts utilized were created utilizing layer winding procedure. Carbon fiber with a matrix of epoxy tar and hardene r were used to create outside composite layers required. Three cases amassed in assessment programming and last two for convincing testing. It has additionally been seen that there is no fiber breakage from the turning twisting exhaustion test. Results got from this study show that increasing strength of shaft by using carbon fiber composite material. Get the weight reduction 45%. key ward : carbon Fiber, Glass fiber, ANSYS, Design.
