Abstract

Universal joint is a joint in a rigid rod that allows the rod to bend in any direction, and is commonly used
in shafts that transmit rotary motion. It generally consists of two hinges located close together, oriented at 900
to
each other, connected by a cross shaft. It is widely used in industrial applications and vehicle drivelines to connect
misaligned shaft. Automobile industries are exploring composite material in order to obtained reduction of weight
without significant decrease in vehicle quantity and reliability. This is due to the fact that the reduction of weight of
vehicle directly proportional to fuel consumption. Universal joint yoke have certain modification are made in
existing geometry and analyzing for the identical boundary condition. Thus in this paper the aim is to replace
universal joint by composite material. The following material can be chosen are carbon/epoxy composite,
Kevlar/epoxy composite. Analysis and experimentation is being performed on universal joint yoke.
