Finite Element Analysis of Drive Shaft Aluminium Based Metal Matrix Composite Reinforced with Sic and Al2o3

Authors(2) :-Kalaiyarasan A, Sankareswaran N

The composite material is mainly used to reduce the weight and increase the strength, stiffness etc… Stir casting process is mainly used to manufacturing of reinforced with metal matrix composite. The manufacturing of aluminum alloy based on stir casting method its used to one of the most economical method of processing MMC.The main project the operating parameter of the composite as its control the properties of the composite material. The drive shaft is increases the length of the shaft because to reduce the whirling vibration. This paper present overview of stir casting process, parameter & preparation of MMC study on mechanical behavior of metal matrix composite with varies composition of reinforcement particles of graphite or Nano particle Sic and Al2O3 composite produced by the stir casting technique. The shaft is modeled using CERIO modeling and finite element analysis is done for same model utilizing ANSYS 15.0 software for Aluminum (Al-SiC) and the results were discussed.
