AA2014/titanium carbide composites (Al-MMCs) included with diverse mass fraction of TiC (0, 4 and 8 wt.%) were made through stir casting method. This present work, examines the tensile behavior of the fabricated specimen and finite element modeling based tensile specimen. Experimental tensile specimens are examined through ultimate testing machine (UTM). The modeling of the tensile specimen has been developed in ANSYS 12.0 for finite element analysis, which are the most standard CAE tools. Tensile load values are calculated by experimental method and that load values are given as input to the FEA analysis. The finite element outcomes employing ANSYS APDL software exhibiting stresses and deflections were confirmed with experimental upshots and analytical outcomes.
