A Yoke assembly is a rotating element of transmission drive shafts. Yoke assembly consist of flange Yoke, tube Yoke, cross & needle roller bearing. Fatigue Failure is common mode of the Yoke assembly failure because all components are rotate about their respective position. In this study failure analysis of Yoke assembly of transmission drive shaft is carried out. By using finite element method high stress area of existing Yoke find out. Crack initiation takes place at high stress region where value of stress exceeds yield value. By observing failure data the primary observation show that assembly was failed at lug region of flange Yoke. If additional thickness provided on failed area of a existing part, Yoke will complete the desire life. After fabrication of Yoke assembly torque and torsional fatigue testing is carried out to check fatigue life of the component.
