Hybrid composites are those composites that have a combination of two or more reinforcement fibres and could be used for the superior properties that are unachievable by any monolithic material. The objective of the present study is to design the aluminium-epoxy hybrid composite of varying number of fiber strands. The fibres are kept in 0°/90° orientation and the width of the fibre strands is varied in the analysis keeping the length and the height of the matrix constant. A 100 N load is applied on the hybrid composite block and the corresponding mechanical behaviour along with the material properties is obtained using finite element analysis (FEA). The results observed in the 0/90 orientation of the hybrid composite include the assembly stress distribution and assembly displacement. The parameters are varied to obtain the corresponding set of results and the optimized structure is suggested using FEA.
