Design and manufacture of an automotive hybrid aluminum/composite drive shaft
TLDR
In this article, a one-piece automotive hybrid aluminum/composite drive shaft was developed with a new manufacturing method, in which a carbon fiber epoxy composite layer was co-cured on the inner surface of an aluminum tube rather than wrapping on the outer surface to prevent the composite layer from being damaged by external impact and absorption of moisture.About:

Prediction of the torsional strength of the hybrid aluminum/composite drive shaft
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the maximum torsion capacity of the hybrid aluminum/composite shaft for different winding angles, number of layers and stacking sequences, and showed that the static torque capacity is significantly affected by changing the winding angle, stacking sequences and number of layer layers.
