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 were performed utilizing optical and scanning electron microscopes to investigate the half-shafts’ mode of failure. Samples from both half-shafts were obtained for tensile testing, metallographic examination, chemical composition analysis, and fracture surface analysis. According to visual examination, reversed bending fatigue, occurring simultaneously with torsion loading, caused the fracture in the half-shaft to the left of the differential (rear view). Analysis of the fracture surface of the half-shaft to the right of the differential revealed that it resulted mainly from bending fatigue loading. Moreover, regarding the mechanical design safety of the half-shafts, calculations were performed considering different trajectories, limit speeds, and different design criteria. Finally, some recommendations are drawn to improve the design safety of this mechanical component.

Nowadays, diverse engineering applications have been seeing an abundant usage of composite materials in various technologies. Since the drive shaft is a significant component of an automobile, its weight reduction can be crucial in fuel efficiency and more outstanding performance. The work involves substituting composite drive shafts instead of steel drive shafts. This research paper undertakes the investigation of advanced composite materials such as E-Glass/Epoxy, HM-Carbon/Epoxy, and HS-Carbon/Epoxy to evaluate the feasibility of composite material to fulfill the objective automobile drive shaft by evaluating stresses and deflection under subjected load using FEA software ANSYS for given composite material and compared with steel drive shaft to verify optimum results. The results indicate that the replacement of the steel shaft with HS-Carbon/Epoxy composite will yield weight savings of up to 78.94 %.

Composite materials have been used more and more over the years, mostly in the aerospace and auto industries. This is because there are so many ways to get the proper properties for different uses. Composite shafts are growing in popularity as a practical solution to the problems present in metallic shafts, and one of the most promising applications is in rotor dynamics [1,2].Composite materials can be used to replace traditional shaft materials since they have high specific strength and modulus without compromising the component's dependability. Composite materials are made up of two materials that have distinct physical and chemical characteristics. It is lighter and stronger and can provide design flexibility and provide resistance to corrosion as well as wear. Compared to conventional materials, composite
