Abstract
Currently there is an effort to replace conventional construction materials – steel, by
new modern materials. Ones of the new modern material we can include fiber composites
materials. Basic fiber composite materials are composite with fibers of glass, carbon or linen.
These types of composites are used in construction of car by their useful properties. Linen
composites are used in interior of car for upholstery. Glass or carbon composites are used in the
body part of car as bumper, mudguards, and door sections. Next possibility is used carbon fiber
composites in construction of car seat. In the case of material replacement, it is necessary to
compare the basic mechanical properties between the conventional material and the new material.
Due to the anisotropic properties of fibrous composites, it is necessary to compare mechanical
properties by experimental method on shape-like samples with real car seat parts. This article
describes comparison mechanical properties of steel and carbon fibers composites on the specimen
of the tube with circle and rectangle profile.
