Abstract
The demand for small commercial vehicles, viz. trucks, pickups, and cargo vans, is increasing exponentially. Mechanical elements present in these vehicles are chassis, steering, engine parts, propeller shaft, gearbox, clutch wheels and lamps. The reduction in weight of the vehicle enhances the fuel efficiency. 3D CAD layout helps the design engineers to optimize weight by considering various dynamic and static conditions of vehicles. Comprehensive details of aggregate parameters help the designer to finalize and optimize design dimensions. This research work focuses on propeller shaft design used in a commercial vehicle and calculates its detailed dimensions using a computerized digital code. This will help the designers overcome the current specification problem with conventional design methodology. The propeller shaft 3D part model is prepared using PTC Creo-7 parametric software. Maximum Shear and Equivalent (von Mises) stresses were obtained under subjective loading conditions using FEA software Ansys 2022 R2. The theoretical and simulation results were found in agreement with ± 10%.
