Abstract

transmission system. It is a mechanical part which is new to transfer power from engine to wheel. Almost all automobiles have transmission shafts. Drive shafts, as power transmission tubing are used in many application including cooling towers, pump sets, aerospace, trucks and automobile. In Front wheel drive (FWD) car, maximum power is transmit through drive shaft. This power transmission mainly depends on size of drive shaft. The drive shaft is subjected to torsional stress and bending stress. To achieve more dependability, less cost and high excellence, the drive shaft should be with less weight and more strength and hardness. For the reason that of this cause weight optimization of front wheel drive shaft plays a most important role in achieve these major goals similar to less cost, high quality and reliability. This project deals with the design of front wheel drive shaft for maximum power transmitted from FWD car. This project includes comprehensive finite element analysis of front wheel drive shaft for torsional and bending loads. The project involves performing study for drive shaft with conventional steel and composite (E-GLASS/EPOXY and HM Carbon/Epoxy) materials. In this project, the design of front wheel drive is done by abstract formulas for steel and composite (E-GLASS/EPOXY and HM Carbon/Epoxy) materials for torsional and bending loads. Design of front wheel drive shaft is done in NX CAD software and Ansys software is used for static and modal analysis of front wheel drive shaft.
