Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase flex of a shaft while its bending strength is improved by a method wherein a carbon fiber having a specific elastic modulus is arranged on a straight layer of a hollow shaft. SOLUTION: A fiber reinforced composite material made tapered hollow shaft containing reinforced fiber of 200GPa to 1,000GPa elastic modulus is generally composed of at least two layers of an askew crossing layer 2 and a straight layer 3. As a prepreg used for the askew crossing layer 2, a unidirectional prepreg is used. As the reinfoced fiber used for the prepreg, that of 200GPa to 1,000GPa tensile elastic modulus is used. As a prepreg used for the straight layer 3, the unidirectional prepreg is preferably used. As the carbon fiber used for the prepreg used for the straight layer 3, that of 5GPa to 156GPa tensil elastic modulus is generally used as an essential constituent. Further, the carbon fiber has preferably 0.8 to 5GPa tensil strength in order to maintain the bending strength.
