Finite element (FE) analysis is used in many critical applications such as aerospace, biomedical sectors to simulate the material behavior before being manufactured. These industries are using composite materials extensively due to their inherent properties such as high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistant and durability. Hence FE studies are imperative in understanding the material deformation characteristics of these lightweight materials. In this study it is proposed to model the carbon fiber reinforced epoxy tube material in an orthogonal turning process using 2D FE models in ABAQUS software. The FE simulations are carried out and the deformation characteristics and stress patterns of the composite tube are analyzed.
