Part - III : TECHNICAL PART OF PATENTED INVENTION

Limitation of Prior Technology/Art :

Low performance of drive shaft
heavy weight of drive shaft
less specific modulus and strength.
drive shafts have less damping capacity.
corrosion resistance is less as compared with composite Materials.
Specific Problem Solved/Objective of Invention :
weight reduction of drive shaft so fluctuation reduced, Due to weight
be reduced.
good corrosion resistance.
have high damping capacity and hence they produce less vibration and noise.

reduction,

fuel

consumption

Brief about Invention :

drive shaft is used to transmit power from engine to differential...
parts are engine , gear box , differential
Key Learning Points :

design of drive shaft , problems with different material , increase performance using composite material
Summary of Invention :

Outstanding fatigue performance of the unidirectional composites used in the designs of the disclosure is achieved
because all loading actions give rise to differential tension and compression in the fiber direction and shear stresses
tend to zero when the wall thickness is small.
