This study focuses on the design, analysis, and optimization of textile-reinforced composite materialsfor automotive applications, specifically targeting bumper brackets. The novelty of this work lies in theintegration of carbon fiber, glass fiber, and hybrid composites using the hand lay-up method, coupledwith advanced finite element analysis (FEA) to validate their structural performance. The methodologyinvolved redesigning the bumper bracket using CATIA V5, fabricating composite samples, andconducting tensile tests to evaluate mechanical properties. FEA in ANSYS Workbench was employed toanalyze stress distribution and deformation under operational loads. Results demonstrated that carbonfiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) achieved a tensile strength of 1330 N/mm², with an 84% weightreduction compared to traditional steel brackets. The study concludes that textile-reinforcedcomposites, particularly CFRP, offer significant weight optimization and high mechanicalperformance, making them ideal for lightweight automotive applications. Hybrid composites alsopresent a cost-effective alternative for secondary structural components.
