Abstract

In this paper, convergence studies of displacement, stress and failure index of the composite drive shaft model using shell281 and shell181 elements in ANSYS Mechanical is carried out, since the mesh plays a major role in giving the proper result which is close to real-life model. These results are compared with the analytical results of classical laminate theory (CLT), third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT), and classical shell theory (CST). It was found that shell181 without initial curvature with four nodes had a very slow convergence rate compared to the shell181 with initial curvature which has four nodes and shell281 which has eight nodes, and the CLT, TSDT, and CST results are in very close accordance with the shell281 element and the shell181 with the initial curvature result. Also, see that the shell181 without initial curvature requires a very fine mesh leading to a large number of elements to match the shell281 and the shell181 with initial curvature.
