A composite material is made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties that, when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components. The individual components remain separate and distinct within the finished structure. The new material may be preferred for many reasons. More recently, researchers have also begun to actively include sensing, actuation, computation and communication. In this work the mechanical properties of aluminum, glass fiber and synthetic fiber and their composite with aluminum were evaluated with reference to ASTM D638-02 a. During the tensile load, the maximum strain was obtained in synthetic fiber whereas maximum stress was obtained in glass fiber- synthetic fiber composite. Composite material has shown an improvement of mechanical properties when compared with individual materials.
