ABSTRACT
In mechanical engineering, composite materials are essential. Because of their complexity and multi-component makeup, they are among the most important technological advancements that have improved the performance of mechanical structures by striking a balance between strength, light weight, and longevity. Reviewing the theoretical analysis of composite material properties is the goal of this study, with particular attention paid to mechanical properties, classification models, and other features including thermal and environmental properties. The goal is to create a comprehensive knowledge base that aids in the creation of better structures. Using a literature and theoretical analysis methodology, the study examines the fundamental theories and mathematical models that describe how materials behave under different loading scenarios while accounting for the assumptions and constraints of each model. According to theoretical principles that explain the balance of strength, flexibility, and reliability, the results show how well some models predict the properties of composite materials and show how these properties can be used to design lightweight, high-strength structures. The creation of contemporary models and theories will successfully enhance the performance of structures and offer a sophisticated conceptual framework that will support the advancement of design procedures in the future and increase sustainability in engineering applications.
