ABSTRACT The composite frameworks of modern metallic systems, because of their greater basic rigidity and strength, have many advantages. The purpose of this study is to replace the conventional steel propeller shaft with a single-piece e-glass / epoxy propeller shaft for an automotive application. The architecture of the steel propeller shaft is based on the Timoshenko beam principle. Different mechanical tests are conducted to determine the material properties based on the material properties optimisation of the parameters with the aim of minimizing composite propeller shaft weight. The
the optimisation results. FFT Analyzer Tests are conducted to obtain the composite propeller shaft natural frequency. The results of experimental tests are validated with ANSYS. KEYWORDS: Propeller Shaft, Composite Material, Natural Frequency, Static Analysis, Modal Analysis & ANSYS

1. INTRODUCTION In many applications drive shafts such as power transmission tubes and automobiles are used. The metal drive shaft has weight limits, low vibration and critical speed. The application of traditional metal has many automotive and industrial problems, as efficiency is constrained by lower critical velocity, weight, tiredness and vibration. Many methods, harmonic dampers, shock absorbers and multiple shafts, have shown modest progress in solving the problem[1.2]. As the steel drive shaft is more than 1.500 mm in length, it is made of two sections.. The use of a single torque tube also reduces installation time, inventory costs, maintenance and parts complexity. Spicer's Dana Corporation Spicer's U-joint divisions developed the first use of composite propeller shafts for the 1985 Ford Econoline model. Many scholars also carried out a lot of composite work on the propeller shaft[4]. In relation to the production of Dai Gil Lee, Zorica Dordevic has carried out a natural frequency test for carbon / epoxy composite pro to report that the aluminum / composite tube and steel yok joining press fitting method was developed to improve reliability and reduce the production costs in relation to other assembly methods, such as joined, bouldered or riveted joints and welded joints[7].
