Abstracts : In the heavy transport vehicles basically
front engine rear wheel drive type a propeller shaft
is one of the most important component in
transmitting power from the engine to the rear
wheel drive. This propeller shaft is supported by the
bracket fixed to the chassis. The center bearing
bracket share about half overhanging portion of
propeller shaft along with ball bearings. It enables
reducing the length of propeller shaft to some
extent.Fatiogue failure is a concern which may lead
to the operational failure of the propeller shaft
which ultimately results into the failure of
transmission. Some common causes of failure are
manufacturing ,design maintenance, raw material
and the operating conditions. The aim of the this
project is to find out the probable reason of the
failure of bracket by analyze it with CAD software
and to provide a satisfactory solution to this failure
by changing dimension and material. This paper
research is divided into two parts first to conduct
survey amongst the buses & examine the causes of
failure and second is to design and analyzed is
recommended best possible alternatives of
propeller shaft with the aid of advance design tool
like CAD. Propeller shaft failure is one of the major
problems facing for MSRTC workshop supervisors
and Engineers.
