Due to the properties like high strength high modulus and low density, the demand for composite material is increasing day by day. Carbon fiber and glass fibers have been able to satisfy the needs of wide varieties of application and hence are used on a large scale in the composite world. Early study has shown that many mechanical parameters such as the type of fiber, the orientation of fiber, stacking sequence of the laminate, thickness, number of layers, affect the strength of ply laminates. Different laminate combinations can be manufactured by altering the above parameters to obtain laminates with different characteristics. This paper deals with the study of the effect of fiber orientation as well as stacking sequence on the strength of laminates having 0ᵒ, 45ᵒ, -45ᵒ, 90ᵒ fiber orientation. The aim is to find out the best suitable stacking sequence which gives the good strength of the laminate. Finite element analysis will be done of the laminates and then it will be tested experimentally on a UTM machine.
