    Abstract
    One of the most widely utilised natural fibres for reinforcement in polymer composites is hemp fibre. It originated from the Cannabis sativa plant. The flexural properties of composite materials mainly depend on the properties of the fibre, fibre volume fraction, fibre orientation and its layer sequence architecture. In this study, the maximum flexural stress and deformation of the Hemp fibre-reinforced polymer (HFRP) composite were analysed using modelling and simulation techniques and compared to the conventional glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite. ANSYS software was used to determine the effect of fibre ply orientation, stacking ply sequence with and without supporting ply angle 0° and fibre volume fraction on the flexural response of the FRP composite. It was found that the HFRP composite with 0° supporting ply has a strength reduction index of 2.0, while the HFRP composite with no supporting ply has an index of 1.4.
