ABSTRACT Propeller shafts are the main components of a vehicle that transmit power from gearbox flange to differential flange enabling the wheels of the vehicle to rotate. Depending upon the vehicle geometry and dimensions the vehicle might have one or more propeller shafts at a time. In case of two or more shaft usage, most of the time the shaft connected to gearbox flange has no length compensation while the latter one does. In this study front and rear propeller shafts of a selected vehicle have been analysed as finite element models under the effects of torque transmitted from gearbox. Various levels of torque values have been considered and stress analysis have been made. Additionally the angle between shaft axes has been altered to find Von-Mises stress levels. Finally fatigue criteria have been used to find fatigue life expectancy of shafts.
