In the context of the continuous development of armoured vehicles and the increasing requirements for the strength and efficiency of armoured vehicles, the study and improvement of torsion shafts becomes relevant to ensure high service life and optimal functioning. The aim of this study is to analyse the torsion shafts of light armoured vehicles to identify possible areas of optimization to increase the strength and durability of these vehicle elements. The methods used include the analytical method, classification method, functional method, statistical method, synthesis method, and others. As a result of the study, a comprehensive analysis and optimization of torsion shafts for light armoured vehicles was carried out to increase their strength and durability. The choice of high-strength material and weight consideration helped to reduce the weight of the vehicle, increasing its efficiency. Geometric design included the use of advanced techniques to optimize the shaft shape, and stress and strain analysis helped determine the optimum parameters. The use of computer modelling and simulation simplified the analysis of the shaft's behaviour under load. The use of safety factors and consideration of impact loads during operation helped to improve the reliability and durability of the structure. The use of the latest materials and manufacturing technologies allowed achieving the optimum parameters of the transmission element. Testing of the prototypes in real conditions confirmed their efficiency and durability. The optimization of weight and weight distribution was aimed at improving the stability of the armoured vehicle, taking into account the requirements of a particular application and manufacturer. The results indicate the potential for improving the design of torsion shafts to increase the performance and stability of light armoured vehicles. This study makes an important contribution to science, as the identified optimizations and improvements in the design of torsion shafts of light armoured vehicles contribute not only to increasing their strength and durability, but also to the rational use of resources and increasing the overall performance of the vehicle.
