Abstract
In the present industrial scenario composite material are given the first preference due to its high strength and less weight ratio. Conventional materials like steel, brass, and aluminum etc. Will fail without any indication, crack initiation; propagation will take place within short span. To overcome this problem conventional materials are replace by aluminum alloy and its composites. In this project work Aluminum Alloy 6061 is selected as matrix material and Silicon Carbide as reinforcement material based on literature review. Fabrication of composite is done by Stir Casting method. Tensile specimens are prepared according to ASTM E08M standards and testing was done under tensometer at room temperature. Finite element method (FEM) is used to simulate the tensile test in ANSYS workbench to identify the occurrence of stress distribution, deformation and elongation etc., without investing much during the initial phase of the product development. Validation of mechanical results with analytical result is done to know the percentage of error associated. Statistical tools like correlation and regression is used to generate regression equation to predict the unknown properties (output) by varying the input variables.
