Abstract— This review paper represents the study of different parameters, properties, behaviors and testing of Composite Materials. The studies of composite material can be done from different articles in the period of 2013 to 2018 and this paper reviewed from: Brief study on Mechanical Testing and their properties, fatigue behavior and its group properties like (Ultimate strength, Yield stress, and Elasticity Modulus). Experimental analysis of polymer reinforced particles by natural particles of cotton shell and hemp. And in this paper we have compared the results of cotton shell with the cotton fibers. In this paper the discussion reviews on basic study of composite materials.

Keywords— Composite materials, mechanical testing, cotton shell, hemp, cotton fibers.

I. INTRODUCTION

The composite materials are defined as the process of combining two or more constituent materials with Engineered or Naturally occurring materials. The composite material is to form a material capable of sustaining loads in microscopic scale. The composite material is widely used in many applications to increasingly have a high strength, durability, wear resistance, stiffness, low density while compared to heavy materials and loss in weight of material.
Composites are also used to contain the physical, chemical and mechanical properties.
In historical, earliest period the composite materials are mixture of straw and mud is used to form bricks for building construction. In the year 1958, the metallic composites of SiO2 and Al are used for Rolls Royce- England and glass fiber and plastic is used in motor cases for missile system. In the year 1960, the principle of fiber reinforcement system has been established. In the year 1938, the natural fibers and polymers are used in asbestos and phenol resins. The Engineered materials are evolved from the period of 10000 BC to 2020 as shown in fig.1.1.
