Abstract
The composite is a structural material that consists of two or more combined constituents that are combined at a microscopic level and are not soluble in each other to increase the strength of the material. Epoxy resins are widely used for most advanced composites. Composite epoxy materials are a group of composite materials typically made from woven glass fabric surfaces and non-woven glass core combined with epoxy synthetic resin. They are typically used in printed circuit board. In the present work, an attempt is made to design the graphite / epoxy composite plate. A rectangular plate is designed with concentric circular hole and four loads are applied to determine stresses induced. Further, analytical results are validated with FEA results.
