Abstract
Drive shafts are mechanical components that are widely used in vehicle powertrain systems to transmit torque and rotation between different components which are not in line or cannot be connected directly. It must transmit the torque from transmission of Differential Gear Box. The Drive shaft is made of heavy duty steel due to its tremendous amount of strength and applicability. Almost all automobiles (at least those which correspond to design with rear wheel drive and front engine installation) have transmission shafts. The weight reduction of the drive shaft can have a certain role in the general weight reduction of the vehicle and is a highly desirable goal, if it can be achieved without increase in cost and decrease in quality and reliability. The current case study explains the review on different loading constraints on vehicle drive shaft of an automobile.
