<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Composites occupy an important place in high-end industries due to their superior characteristics compared to traditional materials or individual constituent materials.
The work focuses on the FEA analysis of composite materials with CFRP carbon fibers with polymer matrix subjected to tensile and shear loads, an important subject of study in the field of engineering. The analysis using the finite element method is a real help by simulating the materials in different conditions. Due to their advanced properties, composite materials can be tested and optimized before being used in production. This can reduce the need to make prototypes and testing multiple times. The aim is to increase productivity and eliminate excess waste, an important process that is the basis of all industries today.
Modified butterfly-type specimens were used in these research studies to be tested on the Arcan device. The simulation conditions were similar to a tensile and shear test conducted in the laboratory, considering a material without cracks or other impurities in its structure and utilizing mechanical properties provided by software Ansys for unidirectional carbon fiber and epoxy-reinforced matrix.
