In modern era engineering application of composite material is increasing rapidly which advantage over conventional material due to their higher strength & stiffness demand for light weight composite material increase due to their promising solution in the field of heavy equipment automotive, aerospace and other small and heavy industry. The objective of this paper is design and analyze of composite drive shaft for apron feeder design modification over conventional drive shaft design with substituting higher strength composite over conventional material of construction drive shaft using for heavy duty apron feeder application . in this paper we have concentrated to reduce weight and cost of shaft by design optimization . for design optimization of drive shaft various design software i.e. solid work, ansys have been used in this paper various design parameter i.e. deformation stress, strain have been calculated under subjected load using FEA (ANSYS). Further compression for calculated design parameter are carried out for existing design and material with updated design and material further compassion carried out for both optimizes and stress intensity factor found for both steel and composite drive shafts.
