Literature on designing cardan shafts (propeller shafts)
(OP)
I am working on cardan shafts especially for heavy trucks.
I am searching for information to learn how to design the universal joints and other parts of cardan shafts.
Could anyone suggest me any useful material?

Hi, you may find useful the following links. Manuals on the design of cardan joints are scarce. I recommend the book of Wagner (Published by SAE) and a book by Duditza. This last book was originally written in roumenian, but there is a french translation by Eyrolles. Although little known by American engineers, it's an outstanding contribution to the design of Cardan joints.
Sincerely,
Ettore
