Study of the Design and Torsion Performance for Carbon Fiber Composite Material Automobile Drive Shaft

摘要

Based on the classical laminate theory, the stacking structure and its joining structure of a carbon fiber composite drive shaft are designed with the carbon fiber epoxy resin as the substrate. The static torsional performance and its fatigue performance of the drive shaft are analyzed using the finite element method. It is showed that the experiment results are consistent with the CAE results in substance, and the drive shaft meets the requirements of the static torque performance and the fatigue performance simultaneously.
