Abstract— In heavy duty vehicles driveshaft is one of the important components. Generally a two-piece alloy steel drive shaft is used in automotive which can be replaced by a single piece of composite material driveshaft. Our main aim is to study its design procedure along with finite element analysis some important parameter will be obtained. The composite drive shaft made up of high modulus material is designed by using CAD software and tested in ANSYS for optimization of design or material check and providing a best material. The replacement of composite materials can results in considerable amount of weight reduction if compared to conventional steel shaft. Also, the dynamic characteristics of the composite shafts must be analyzing well.
