Composite materials are obtained by combining two or more materials with different physical properties, which maintain their properties at the macromolecular level, thus retaining their identity, to obtain a resulting material with characteristics clearly superior to the constituent elements, comparable to conventional materials in terms of performance. The specimens are made either by injection molding, machined from the center sections of a standard test sample (see ISO 20735: 2018), processed from semifinished, finished, rolled, or extruded products. In this sense, the article briefly presents the activity of creating a modeling, simulation. and tensile testing software program that can acquire control and process data, taken from an experimental stand or from a software simulation. Thus, the following elements are realized: software for retrieving data from the software equipment of the Zwick/Roell Z020 traction test machine; taking data from an experimental stand; simulation of tensile testing; creating reports, management of the production logistics chain of the benchmark. The experimental and theoretical results are further input in the design of the presented software. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
