The propeller shaft of rear-wheel drive vehicle transfers power from the engine to rear wheels through the differential gear box. Generally the propeller shaft has a two-piece steel structure of more than 10kg of weight. In this paper, we designed the one-piece hybrid propeller shaft using the aluminum, carbon fiber composite material and glass fiber composite material. Research on the adhesive strength of the hybrid propeller shaft with respect to roughness of aluminum surface was conducted. The one piece hybrid propeller shaft satisfying the performance standards of propeller shaft such as statistic torsion torque strength and first bending natural frequency was manufactured. The manufactured hybrid shaft was assembled with the suitable connecting parts and analyzed for performance verification. This hybrid propeller shaft satisfies all performance standards of propeller shaft for automobile application. The hybrid shaft has vibration characteristics of 237Hz significantly higher than the standard characteristic of 150Hz of the existing two-piece steel structure propeller shaft.

Hybrid materials are an attractive option in case of aerospace and aviation applications since they are exceptionally strong. The current study presents the failure analysis of the hybrid material in ANSYS software. The main aim of this study is to check the suitability of the MATLAB results obtained from the previously selected composite material comprising of carbon steel + epoxy + S glass + T700 fibres using ANSYS software by creating a solid three-dimensional meshed model of the shaft. Layerwise shaft theory and finite element analysis have been employed for developing the model. The thermal analysis, delamination and buckling failure studies are conducted and found that increasing the thickness of the material will increase its load withstandability. The load failure point is found to be 8.4mm from the delamination studies. From analysis it was understood that the chosen composite material could be used for the propeller shaft of an aircraft.


Aim of this investigation was to study the effect of lathe scrap fibre and steel fibre replacement in concrete at different percentage so that we can achieve an improved and more durable concrete comparative to conventional concrete. Concrete is weak in tension and good in compression and also it is less ductile therefore, to terminate those weaknesses of concrete reinforcement bar is combine with it, but the reinforcement bar can’t fulfil the requirement of mechanical strength of concrete so to fulfil the requirements lathe scrap fibre and steel fibre is added so that the better composite material is achievable. After the investigation on several researcher work, we find 1.2% to 1.5% of lathe scrap fibre or steel fibre replacement according to weight of concrete, this is the optimum replacement in concrete to improve mechanical strength. But according to another research paper in which fine aggregate is partially replaced by lathe scrap fibre at percentage of 15%, 30% and 60% by its weight and it also improves the mechanical strength in compare to conventional concrete. Therefore, the review study characterize the utilisation of lathe scrap fibre and steel fibre in FRC improves the tensile strength and provides better resistance for early crack development in concrete. And also inexpensive, easily available and furthermore best for retrofitting and shotcrete techniques.

In recent years, different strengthening techniques adopting composite materials have been proposed. Among these, FRP strengthening technique, which adopts Fiber-Reinforced Polymers strips, has become quite popular for the rehabilitation and seismic improvement of existing buildings. In this paper, this composite material is adopted to design the strengthening of an existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame. Firstly, its behavior is considered up to failure condition by performing a Finite Element (FE) analysis that incorporates a non-linear constitutive relation for the material named 2D-PARC. Then, based on the obtained FE analysis results, a strengthening design of the frame by adopting composite materials is developed and discussed.

The replacement of conventional steel driveshaft of automobiles with an appropriate composite driveshaft with different combinations of fibers at a time. For reducing the bending natural frequency the conventional steel shafts are made in two pieces, where to reduce the overall weight the composite material drive shaft is made in single piece. Various composites can be designed and analyzed for their appropriateness in terms of torsional strength, bending natural frequency and torsional buckling by comparing them with the conventional steel driveshaft under the same grounds of design constraints and the best-suited composite will be recommended. Light has been thrown upon the aspects like mass saving, number of plies and ply distribution.

In order to improve the mechanical properties of an intermetal1ic compound TiAl, a composite material of TiAl involving a second phase Ti2AIN was prepared by a new combustion reaction method. It is found that Ti2AIN (hexagonal structure) is a rod shape as shown in Fig.1 and its side surface is almost parallel to the basal plane, and this composite material has distinguished strength at elevated temperature and considerable toughness at room temperature comparing with TiAl single phase material. Since the property of the interface of composite materials has strong influences to their mechanical properties, the structure of the interface of intermetallic compound and nitride on the areas corresponding to 2, 3 and 4 as shown in Fig.1 was investigated using high resolution electron microscopy and image processing.

The addition of fibres or particles (TiB2, SiC etc.) into TiAl intermetallic alloys could increase their toughness without compromising their good high temperature mechanical and chemical properties. This paper briefly discribes the microstructure developed by a TiAl/TiB2 composite material fabricated with the XD™ process and forged at 960°C.The specimens for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were prepared in the usual way (i.e. diamond polishing and argon ion beam thinning) and examined on a JEOL 4000EX for microstucture and on a Philips 400T equipped with a SiLi detector for microanalyses.The matrix was predominantly γ (TiAl with L10 structure) and α2(TisAl with DO 19 structure) phases with various morphologies shown in figure 1.
