Design and Analysis of a CFRP Drive Shaft

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the requirements of drive shaft, finite element analysis software SAMCEF was adopted in the simulation analysis of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) tube which was the main structure of a CFRP drive shaft, in order to determine the parameters such as fiber orientation angles, number of plies, percentages of fiber with different angles, and stacking sequences. In this paper, the joint between CFRP tube and metal parts was designed. Specimens were manufactured and experiments were carried out. In conclusion, the results of experiments suggested that the simulation analysis predicted well the performances of the designed drive shaft.
