In the present age of technological innovation in various sectors ranging from auto¬mobile to aerospace, high strength materials with low weight are in high demand.The strength to weight ratios of composite materials using glass fibers, carbon fiber etc make them ideal choice for application in several fields. Composite materials are proved as suitable substitutes for steel in connection with weight reduction of the vehicle. Hence, the composite materials have been selected for specimen. The commonly used fibers are carbon, glass, kevlar, etc. Among these, the glass fiber has been selected based on the cost factor and strength. The types of glass fibers are C-glass, S-glassand E-glass. The C-glass fiber is designed to give improved surface finish. S-glass fiberis design to give very high modular, which is used particularly in aeronautic industries. The E-glass fiber is a high quality glass, which is used as standard reinforcement fiber for all the present systems well complying with mechanical property requirements. Thus, E-glass fiber was found appropriate for this application and thus the tensile and flexure specimen have being prepared accordingly with varying composition of Al2O3 and SiO2. The design of the specimen geometry was done using Unigraphix Nx andthe ACP analysis was done using Ansys Workbench. The specimens were manufactured and tested using suitable methods, the results of same are in close agreement.
