Abstract-Abstract: – This project focuses on analyzing the tensile behavior of a composite material comprising pure Kevlar 49 as the reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix, utilizing Finite Element Analysis. Under the tensile load conditions the objective is to simulate and evaluate mechanical properties, stress distribution, and failure modes. Material properties and parameters for both epoxy resin and Kevlar 49 are gathered to develop a 3D finite element model using Ansys 19.2 software. The simulation analyzes stress distribution, strain, deformation, and displacement, emphasizing identification of failure modes and critical regions. Validation against experimental theoretical data and optimization of composite design or material composition for enhanced performance and durability are pursued. This investigation aims to offer valuable insights for the design and optimization of composite materials across engineering applications.
