This paper deals with the modal analysis of hybrid composite propeller shaft made up of low carbon steel epoxy, s glass and T700 fiber. A one-piece hybrid composite propeller shaft and a conventional steel propeller shafts are designed and analyzed using ANSYS 14.5 software. By comparing the results, it is concluded that Hybrid Composite shaft have higher frequencies than Steel shaft, i.e. Hybrid Composite propeller shaft can rotate at higher frequencies than Steel propeller shaft. Hence, in order to reduce the weight of the shaft and increase the performance, conventional steel shaft can easily be replaced by hybrid composite shaft.
