Abstract
In this paper the dynamic performance and cross-section deformation of shafts made of metals (steel and aluminum), composites (CFRP and GFRP) and hybrids of metals and composites have been studied. A layered finite degenerated shell element with transverse shear deformation and dynamic behavior is employed. Results obtained show that improvements in dynamic performance and reduction of cross-section deformation of hybrid shafts over metallic and composite shafts are possible.
