This paper presents a solution of the vibration reduction in driving automotive shafts.Generally, vibration modes in automotive driveshafts are divided into the bending and torsionalvibrations. However, the bending vibration is more dominant factor when it excites with theresonance frequencies in automotive driveshafts. In this paper, the vibration damping structure ofautomotive driveshaft is introduced by incorporating piezofiber composite structure, which is alsocalled as MFC (Macro Fiber Composite). The MFC is an innovative actuator that offers highperformance and flexibility than other piezo-materials, so it is the best candidate of actuator to applyto the curved surface of shaft. In order to simulate the bending vibration reduction in the automotiveshaft, analytical model based on cylindrical shell theory was developed. Moreover, Finite ElementAnalysis (FEA) using the piezoelectric-thermal analogy technique was conducted to confirm theanalytical results and demonstrate the vibration reduction performance. The effect by the polarity ofMFC on the vibration damping is also studied to find the best combination of MFC activation. Thus,the results showcase the optimal vibration damping capabilities using MFC in automotive driveshafts,and provide an outlook for the active damping control using the multi-mode resonance controllers
