  • First Online:
Vibration Engineering and Technology of Machinery

Part of the book series: Mechanisms and Machine Science ((Mechan. Machine Science,volume 23))

Abstract

This paper summarizes research on dynamics of composite shafts, with an objective to develop light weight rotor systems. A review of available literature post-1996 is presented here, since a comprehensive review on similar topic was published in 1997 by Singh et al. Specifically the various aspects covered are, theories for dynamic analysis of fiber reinforced composite shaft, their modeling and analysis, experimental work, and design optimization procedures. All these aspects are important for full development of ‘Composite Rotors’ for light weight high performance transmission systems. Directions for future research are outlined.
