In this research, fabric reinforced polymer composites materials play an important role for their versatile applications. These materials have good strength, are light weighted and give high strength to weight ratio as compared to the other materials. This paper explains carbon fibre based polymer composites. carbon fibre acts as reinforcement material. This research work mainly focused on finding the strength of the material, tensile and bending properties of carbon epoxy laminates. This research carries symmetric ply, angle ply, cross ply laminates, which are manufactured as of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. This research conducts various mechanical tests for the above-mentioned three types of laminates. Mainly conducted Tensile and Bending tests. These tests were carried out on electronic tensometer. This research extended to conducted Tensile, bending tests for sandwich panel specimen and compare the results with cross, symmetric and angle ply laminates. Finally analyses the results of all three types of laminates. This paper explains the stress, strain and displacement of the symmetric, cross and angle ply with 0, +45/-45 and 90 degrees’ angle orientations and young’s modulus of the material.
