A thorough investigation into the modeling and simulation of fiber-reinforced composites' (FRCs') mechanical characteristics is presented in this project. Because of their improved durability and superior strength-to-weight ratio, these materials are being used more and more in a variety of industries. Therefore, it is essential to comprehend their mechanical behavior in order to maximize their applications. The impact of fiber orientation, volume fraction, and matrix parameters on the overall performance of FRCs is examined in this study using a mix of finite element analysis (FEA) and micromechanical modeling approaches. Our objective is to forecast the failure and elastic properties under various loading scenarios by creating a comprehensive computational model. The correctness and dependability of the models are ensured by experimental validation using tensile and flexural tests, which supplement the simulation results. The results of this study open the door for the improved use of fiber-reinforced composites in the structural, automotive, and aerospace engineering sectors by offering insightful information for their design and optimization.
