The shafts specifically used to transmit power are made up of the single material, but in the current work it has been modified with smart material using Functionally Graded Material (FGM) of ceramic and metal combination. The direct mixture of these two materials leads to the formation of an alloy with a possibility that the shaft may undergo oxidation which results in decreasing its lifespan. In order to avoid oxidation and improve the lifespan of the shaft, direct mixing of metals are avoided and the concept of applying FGM over a standard material is used and analyzed (ANSYS) by applying external loads.
