Design and Fatigue Optimization of Drive Shaft
International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2021
This work aims towards the design and optimization of the drive shaft as there is increasing demand for weight reduction in an automobile vehicle. The drive shaft is basically a torque transmitting element which transmit the torque from the differential gearbox to the respective wheels. In general, the drive shafts are subjected to fluctuating loads as the torque requirement changes according to the road conditions. Due to this, the drive shaft should be designed considering fatigue failure. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga model is chosen for design and optimization of the drive shaft. For the fatigue life predicting of the drive shaft, the S-N curve approach is used. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the shaft is varied to obtain the optimized diameter of a hollow shaft which can withstand these fluctuating loads without failure. Along with fatigue life prediction, the natural frequency of the hollow shaft is also calculated. Furthermore, the parametric analysis is carried out of fatigue FOS, Von mises stress, weight and natural frequency of the shaft by varying the diameter ratio of the hollow shaft, and the nature of variation of these parameters are plotted in their respective graphs. The design is validated by performing FEA analysis for each case of a hollow shaft using Ansys software. Finally, from the FEA analysis we conclude that the optimized dimensions of the hollow drive shaft are safe.

The weight reduction of the drive shaft can have a certain role in the general weight reduction of the vehicle and is a highly desirable goal. Substituting composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials. The advanced composite materials such as graphite, carbon, Kevlar and Glass with suitable resins are widely used because of their high specific strength and high specific modulus. Advanced composite materials seem ideally suited for long power driver shaft applications. The automotive industry is exploiting composite material technology for structural components construction in order to obtain the reduction of the weight without decrease in vehicle quality and reliability. It is known that energy conservation is one of the most important objectives in vehicle design and reduction of weight is one of the most effective measures to obtain this result. Actually, there is almost a direct proportionality between the weight of a vehicle and its fuel consumption, particularly in city driving. The present work includes, analysis done on drive shaft of Toyota qualis with different composite materials and concludes that the use of composite materials for drive shaft would induce less amount of stress which additionally reduces the weight of the vehicle. CATIA V5R16 is the modeling package used to model the drive shaft assembly and ANSYS 11.0 is the analysis package used to carry out analysis. Purpose of the Drive Shaft (Or Propeller Shaft) It must transmit torque from the transmission to the differential gear box. The drive shaft must also be capable of rotating at the very fast speed required by the vehicle. The drives shaft must also operate through constantly changing the angles between the transmission, the differential and the axels. The length of the drive shaft must also be capable of changing while transmitting torque.

The intention behind the research study is an approach to find fatigue analysis of a propeller shaft used in an automobile vehicle. Propeller shaft is used basically to transmit the power generated from the engine. An attempt has been made in the study to find the best suited material for propeller shaft. The study indicates the deformation occurs due to the frequent changes in loading conditions. For further work two materials has been taken viz steel and composites. Propeller shaft is used to transfer rotary motion to the differential by using constant mesh, or synchromesh gear box. Propeller shaft converts the torque to the rear wheel when vehicle is in moving condition. The power generated from engine is stored in flywheel which is then converted to clutch and transmitted to gear box, form gear box power is transmitted through propeller shaft to rear wheels. The position of propeller shaft is in such a way that one is connected to gear box and another end is connected to rear axle differential and finally torque is transmitted to rear wheels .So the shaft should be made of such material with suitable diameter and length to withstand torsional stresses developed by torque transmission , also it should be well balanced so that the vibration occurrence should be minimum. Also Composites as an alternative is used, from composites shaft is designed. After designing, analysis is done to find out the stresses. Also, it will help to rectify torsional strength, bending stresses to find the suitable material for the shaft. Finally, the research suggests the best material for propeller shaft.
