Abstract:In the electric vehicles studied, the driven wheels and the differential, which are responsible for the transfer of power and rotational motion, are connected by half-shafts. The failure of two half-shafts in the rear gearbox of a three-wheeled electric vehicle, popularly known as a Tuk Tuk, is examined and evaluated in this research. Therefore, the primary goal of this work is to look at the factors that contribute to the failure of the aforementioned components. Visual examination and fractographic analysis … Show more
