Investigation of Hybrid Composite Drive Shaft under Tensile, Bending and Torsion Testing
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this research work, an attempt has been made to develop drive shafts using composite materials such as E-Glass, Carbon fibers and hybrid composite layers of E-Glass, Carbon and S-Glass with different fiber orientations. Strength aspects of the fabricated composite drive shafts are studied by conducting tensile, bending and torsion tests. From the investigations, it is found that the hybrid composite drive shaft has shown very good strength properties along with the desired flexural stiffness when compared to other composite shafts.
