The mechanical properties of a newly developed polymeric nanocomposite material, including its fabrication, formation, and performance, were investigated through experimental and numerical analysis. The obtained results were then compared with mechanical test results of the newly produced multiwalled carbon material. The composite material was formulated by incorporating nanotubes, carbon fibers, and epoxy in specific weight ratios, enabling it to withstand both mechanical and environmental stresses when implemented in engineering applications. Additionally, vibration response analysis was conducted using ANSYS simulation software, employing evolutionary numerical methods. This analysis provided insights into the behavior of the material under different mechanical conditions. Through a comprehensive understanding of the material’s performance in mechanical engineering tests and the optimization of weight ratios, a new nanomaterial was successfully created, meeting the desired engineering specifications and advancing the field of nanoscience.
