Universal Joints and Driveshafts

Abstract

Driveshafts are systems made up of a number of elements arranged and linked together. A system is characterised in that it can be delineated from its surroundings, with the links to the surroundings at the boundary of the system [5.1; 5.2]. A variety of factors affects the selection of the sub-systems.
