Abstract: This project aims to allow further implementation of fibre-reinforced composite materials in the airline industry. The project report initially gives a brief introduction on fibre/composite materials and the universal testing machine (UTM). A few materials with their composition, tests already conducted and a brief analysis is discussed. The final report also describes the step by step process of testing the glass fibre material used for compressive and tensile testing.
