Abstract

In the recent years, the application of laminated composite materials is growing in all domains of engineering owing to its high strength and stiffness. Consequently, the quality of the fiber reinforced composite materials based on the tensile strength is considered for critical applications. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposed a technique to conduct a critical analysis of reinforced composite laminates. In this approach, laminates are produced using the process subsequently; the tensile strength test is performed for analysing the reinforced composite materials at 0^o /90^o and 45^o angle orientation. The experimental results illustrate an increase in the number of layers that improves the strength to a greater extent. Moreover, fiber reinforced composite laminates with 0^o /90^o orientation of fibers exhibit o higher tensile strength properties when compared to the laminates with 45^o orientation of fibers.
