Abstract

This contribution deals with the possibility of simulation of complex parts made from polymer-composites with CAD/CAM/CAE software. First part of contribution is aimed on describing the basis of fiber composites and its behaviour under load. Main reason of choosing carbon fiber as material for innovative parts depends on low density and high tensile strength. Thus carbon fiber composites are frequently used at automotive and sporting goods production, parts from these industries were selected. Second part will lead to different studies performed in Simulations and describes the stress and weight comparisons made from Steel, Carbon fiber, Glass Fiber composites. The optimization for weight and strength of the shaft based on Fiber orientations and different materials will be done.
