Implementation of Light Weight Carbon Composite Driveshaft for a Light Commercial Vehicle
Abstract: The automotive drive shaft is a crucial component for power and torque transmission in vehicles, with a tubular shape that spins due to engine power. The current drive shaft is made of heavy-duty mild steel, increasing the vehicle's weight and fuel consumption. To reduce the weight, a composite material called carbon fiber was used. Carbon fiber showed better performance in driveshaft operation, and its properties were evaluated using universal testing …
