        abstract = { A drive shaft, also known as a propeller shaft or cardan shaft, it is a mechanical part that transmits the torque generated by a vehicle's engine into usable motive force to propel the vehicle. Now a day’s two-piece steel shaft is mostly used as a drive shaft. The two-piece steel drive shaft consists of three universal joints, a center supporting bearing and a bracket, which increases the total weight of an automotive vehicle and decreases fuel efficiency.. The basic requirements considered here are structural deformation, stress and strain factors.  The E-glass/epoxy and carbon fiber composite as in which the Steel has a role to transmit the required torque, while the carbon fiber composite increases the   structural behavior of the component.An experimental study was carried out using the analyzing software called ANSYS WORKBENCH R 2016},
