Abstract

This work focuses the running inconvenient weight and the weight to strength ratio of the components of the vehicle as the weight directly affects on the mileage and running cost so this is the to replace the current material by low weight material without harming the safety. In this work the axle shaft is designed and manufactured by alternate material i.e. glass fiber and epoxy resin, the objective is to replace the all components of vehicle but the representative basis is the axle of the two wheeler.
 The glass fiber and epoxy resin having additional properties as they are composite materials. The composite materials i.e. composition of the more materials having properties of the all materials. The composite axle of is compared with conventional steel axle under different mechanical testing destructive and non-destructive tests with evaluating of different mechanical properties such as tensile strength, crack free structure by using appropriate experimental techniques.

Highlights

  • In engineering i.e. automobile, civil, mechanical, naval, and aeronautical streams shafts are widely used as important element

  • The experimentation made on the manufactured material by the destructive testing as well as non-destructive testing (NDT)

  • The test taken on the steel, epoxy resin and glass fiber as it was the comparative study

Summary

Introduction

In engineering i.e. automobile, civil, mechanical, naval, and aeronautical streams shafts are widely used as important element Fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites are rigorous compatible due to light weight, bio degradability, higher strength, better stiffness, better corrosive resistant, and lower wear coefficient in different uses that are important in mechanical and tribological characteristics. In this part we made a summary of the work done by various researchers and engineers in the field of alternate material use. Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites are attractive and demanding materials to replace conventional materials in order to solve critical environmental problems This means that the inter surface plays a dominant role in tribological properties.
