In the present paper the primary task is the study involving calculation of elastic properties of the composite from the individual properties of the E-glass fiber (650 GSM) and the properties of resin LY 556 with Hardener HY951. The properties of varying volumetric ratio of fiber are obtained from calculation of the properties by using rule of mixtures. Experimentally validating the theoretical and numerical approaches by comparing the load-displacement response and crack paths observed in large scale bridged crack propagation in laminated fiber-reinforced composites specimens. An effort is being made to develop a numerical framework for cohesive crack propagation and demonstrating its effectiveness by simulating failure through crack propagation in materials with complex microstructure like fiber reinforced composites. Experimentally validating the theoretical and numerical approaches by comparing the load-displacement response and crack paths observed in large scale bridged crack propagation in laminated fiber-reinforced composites specimens.

Based on the Voronoi cell finite element can also reflect fiber reinforced composites interface to take off the layer and matrix crack propagation of the new cell (X-VCFEM cell)[1]. Combined with the re-mesh strategy and grid dynamic technology, Simulated analysis in different inclusion distribution, interface crack propagation for fiber reinforced composites, the results show that for the model with multiple Voronoi cell, The horizontal tension was the largest; For only a Voronoi cell, The size of the horizontal tension was little change.The result was very important reference value for manufacturing process and engineering application of fiber reinforced composite materials.

There is a growing interest in the development of natural fiber-reinforced composites, most likely due to their wide availability, low cost, environment friendliness, and sustainability. The market size for natural fiber-reinforced composites is projected to reach $5.83 billion by 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of 12.3%. The composite materials reinforced with wood, cotton, jute, flax or other natural fibers fall under this category. Meanwhile, some major factors limiting the large scale production of natural fiber composites include the tendency of natural fiber to absorb water, degradation by microorganisms and sunlight and ultimately low strength and service life. This paper has focused to review the different natural fiber treatments used to reduce the moisture absorption and fiber degradation. The effect of these treatments on the mechanical properties of these composites has also been summarized.

The XFEM was used to forecast the sub-interface crack propagation paths of carbon fiber reinforced composites, and the simulation results were compared with the SEM photos. The change of strain energy and damage dissipation energy in this process was also investigated. The results indicated that the existence of fiber had a certain influence on the crack propagation direction. And the structure energy changed along with the crack propagation.

Combined with the re-mesh strategy and grid dynamic technology, Simulated analysis in different inclusion quantity, interface crack propagation for fiber reinforced composites, the results show that for the model with four,nine,sisteen,twenty-five and thirty-six voronoi cell, The horizontal tension was not the largest; For only a Voronoi cell, The size of the horizontal tension was the largest.The result was very important reference value for manufacturing process and engineering application of fiber reinforced composite materials.
