Composite material is one of the tailor-made materials that can be manufactured as per the requirements. The specific need for such materials can be chosen based on the strength of the material and other engineering properties. After manufacturing the composite, testing requires a lot of time and involves cost. Modelling and simulation through computational techniques may dodge the cost and time factors and enhance the capability of a material to be employed in a specific engineering application. A finite element analysis (FEA) through numerical simulation is one engineering tool that predicts material characteristics through simulations. In most of the recent studies, reviews and research works focussed individually on polymer and metal matrix composites based on the resulting composite materials. Application-based composite materials have been dealt in a very least literature. In this article, the critical focus is given to the simulation variant of FEA and consolidates the implications of using FEA as a computational technique to evaluate the stress of polymer matrix composites and metal matrix composites in various loading conditions and different applications. The future scope of these computational techniques has been envisaged through Patent landscape analysis and the advancements to be augmented along with FEA techniques have also been discussed comprehensively.

复合材料是可以根据要求制造的定制材料之一。可以根据材料的强度和其他工程特性来选择此类材料的具体需求。制造复合材料后，测试需要大量时间并涉及成本。通过计算技术进行建模和模拟可以避免成本和时间因素，并增强材料在特定工程应用中使用的能力。通过数值模拟进行的有限元分析 (FEA) 是一种通过模拟预测材料特性的工程工具。在最近的大多数研究、评论和研究工作中，分别关注基于所得复合材料的聚合物和金属基复合材料。基于应用的复合材料的文献报道很少。在本文中，重点关注有限元分析的模拟变体，并巩固了使用有限元分析作为计算技术来评估聚合物基复合材料和金属基复合材料在各种负载条件和不同应用中的应力的含义。通过专利格局分析，我们设想了这些计算技术的未来范围，并且还全面讨论了 FEA 技术所带来的进步。
