The increasing need for sustainable development and multifunctional capabilities calls for sophisticated and eco-friendly alternatives to modern materials and composites. In this regard, biomaterials and biocomposites have played a significant role in revolutionizing the aforementioned concepts. However, their application spectrum is often restricted by their thermal capabilities and hydrophilicity. Therefore, a thorough assessment of their properties is vital to promote such materials for their intended applications. Consequently, computational methods are highly effective in such scenarios to obtain or predict the optimal properties and ensure reasonable tradeoffs between various parameters. This chapter aims to put forth a consolidated understanding of finite element analysis (FEA) methods to predict and analyze the static behavior of biocomposites. Furthermore, the increasing need for sustainable development and multifunctional capabilities have put biocomposites in the limelight for extensive research. Accordingly, their application prospects lie across several fields, including aerospace, automotive, and biomedical sectors. However, the realization of such objectives can only be achieved through extensive research conducted theoretically and experimentally. In this regard, finite element modeling (FEM) plays a pivotal role. Consequently, this study focuses on assessing the range and capabilities of FEM in the static analysis of biocomposites while also commenting on its efficacy in delivering reliable and repeatable predictions. Finally, special emphasis is laid on discussing the optimization of such properties and the prospective applications of biocomposites. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
