Abstract: In this study, the e-glass epoxy laminates are manufactured and fabricated as per ASTM standard 300x300x4mm. Tensile, flexural strength specimens of E-glass epoxy laminated composite are examined experimentally. Clamped-free boundary conditions are considered for all iterations. Experiments have been carried out on these laminated composite specimens to find the tensile & flexural strength. Same models are modelled in hyper mesh and run with the Abaqus software to validate the experimental results. After the validation different configuration laminates are modelled and solved numerically using Abaqus to identify the best material having the highest tensile and flexural strengths. Percentage error computed between the validated experimental and numerical results is applied on the results of all the iterations involved in the work. The buckling strength of the panel is computed for panel selected from the study.
