Fibers Direction Effect on Tensile Elasticity of Epoxy Composites Using Computer modeling

In this research a sample of glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite was subjected to a tensile load to study the effect of fiber directions on the tensile elasticity theoretically using finite element method (fem) . mscnastran computer package was used for the purpose of this study. tensile test was done on the design samples when fibers angled with the load direction at 0o ,45o and 90o in order to find out the direction which provides the best mechanical properties. through the tests result and color spectrum analysis, we found that 0o angle provides the best properties, followed by 45o angle, while at 90o angle shows lowest value of elasticity modulus
