ABSTRACT
Fiber-reinforced composite materials are used in the many industrial applications such as aerospace, automotive, and marine due to them having a lightweight and giving superior performance. They give many design possibilities utilizing the commutative stacking sequences and fiber orientation angles. Driveshafts are generally made up from steel or aluminum tubes subjected to torsion or shear stress and have been used in the automobiles or other vehicles together with fundamental design rules. There are many complicated-highly nonlinear functions in the design and optimization problems of the composite driveshaft. Natural frequency is the most crucial issue which effects on the driveshafts for the dynamical engineering system. Optimization techniques can be categorized into two headings as traditional and non-traditional optimization methods. The use of different glass-epoxy composite materials ensures a considerable amount of weight reduction for drive shafts.
