AB  - In this research, a self-reinforced composite material was manufactured using a 
      single polyethylene material, and this self-reinforced composite material has 
      excellent recyclability and is environmentally friendly compared to composite 
      materials composed of other types of material, such as glass fiber reinforced 
      composites (GFRP) and carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRP). In this 
      research, the manufactured self-reinforced composite material consists of an 
      outer layer and an inner layer. To manufacture the outer layer, low density 
      polyethylene (LDPE) films were laminated on high density polyethylene (HDPE) 
      fabrics and knitted fabrics, and composite materials were prepared at various 
      temperatures using hot stamping. A 3D printing process was utilized to 
      manufacture the inner layer. After designing a structure with a cross-sectional 
      shape of a triangle, circle, or hexagon, the inner layer structure was 
      manufactured by 3D printing high-density polyethylene material. As an adhesive 
      film for bonding the outer layer and the inner layer, a polyethylene-based 
      self-reinforced composite material was prepared using a low-density polyethylene 
      material. Input data for simulation of self-reinforced composite materials were 
      obtained through tensile property analysis using a universal testing machine 
      (UTM, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan), and the physical property values derived as output 
      data and actual experimental values were obtained. As a result of the comparison, 
      the error rate between simulation data and experimental data was 5.4% when the 
      shape of the inner layer of self-reinforced composite material was a hexagon, 
      3.6% when it was a circle, and 7.8% when a triangular shape showed the highest 
      value. Simulation in a virtual space can reduce the time and cost required for 
      actual research and can be important data for producing high-quality products.
