The use of composites in engineering applications has been steadily growing in recent years. Despite this growth and despite some important advantages of the properties that composites offer, such as reduced weight, design freedom, etc., a breakthrough in high- volume components in engineering applications has not been achieved at present. Therefore, when designing selected parts and structures using new materials, such as composites, material and manufacturing costs must be considered a high priority if further significant growth is achieved. However, many other factors must also be considered when designing a composite part for engineering use. These factors also depend on the particular material or combination of materials being evaluated. The paper is focused on testing a composite material manufactured from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), reinforced with high-strength fibres Cordenka and Aramid fibres. The composite material's mechanical properties were verified using Ansys simulation software.
