Natural fiber polymer composites are generally used in the furniture, home appliances, construction works. Present work is based on the simulation of the Graphite Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GrFRP) composite laminates through numerical model. In simulation we get maximum 7% error with the available experimental results. Analyzed a beam which is made from natural fiber reinforced polymer composites. It consists of eight stacks of natural fiber lamina, a central hole, both the ends supported as fixed and loaded by a uniformly distributed load (UDL). A numerical tool have been developed to analyze the Jute Fiber Reinforced Polymer (JFRP) composites. In this analysis, four different sequencing pattern of lamina has been used. The numerical failure index and failure strength for the different tacking sequences of lamina is determined. The maximum failure strength for the (60 °/-60 °/60 °/-60 °)s laminate is 22.51MPa. We found that in the simulation the results of the model are very close to experimental results. Its method of analysis is more convenient and economical over the experimental work. Therefore, the method was found very suitable for modelling and analysis in future.
