Designing Joints and Driveshafts

  • Chapter
Universal Joints and Driveshafts

Abstract

The useful life of a driveshaft is determined mainly by the joints. For this reason the other component parts will not be discussed here; they can in any case be designed using the general principles of strength of materials.
