A composite driveshaft (110) includes a body (116) having a first end (118), a second end, and an intermediate portion (124) defining a driveshaft axis (DSA). The first end defines a first coupling region (130) and the second end defines a second coupling region. At least one virtual hinge (140) is arranged adjacent at least one of the first coupling region and the second coupling region. The at least one virtual hinge being defined by a plurality of axially extending openings (153) forming a plurality of axially extending flexible material webs (150) that accommodate both bending moments and axial changes of the body. |
