Abstract

Composite materials are made of two or more constituent materials that are combined to create a material with superior properties to those of the individual materials. Synthetic fibers, such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, and aramid fiber, are often used as the reinforcing material in composite materials. These fibers are strong, lightweight, and have good fatigue resistance. The matrix material, which surrounds the fibers, is typically an epoxy resin or a thermoplastic. The matrix material provides the composite with its toughness and durability.Composite materials are used in a wide variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace, marine, and sporting goods. In the automotive industry, composite materials are used to make lightweight components, such as bumpers, spoilers, and door panels. They are also used to make structural components, such as the hood and trunk lid.The aim of this project is to fabricate and test seven different combinations of composite materials for useautomobile bumpers. The materials that will be used are Kevlar, S glass, carbon fiber, and graphite powder. The composites will be fabricated using the hand layup technique. The tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, and hardness of each composite will be tested. The results of the tests will be used to determine which composite is the best for use in automobile bumpers.The car bumper will be designed using the CATIA software and analyzed using the ANSYS software. The von-Misses stress and total deformation of the bumper will be calculated for each material. The results of the analysis will be used to verify the findings of the experimental tests.This project will provide valuable information on the use of composite materials in automobile bumpers. The results of the project will help engineers to select the best composite material for specific applications
