Computer modelling, analysis of the mechanical properties and development of a nano membrane from composite polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber mats were proposed in this study. The aim of this experiment is to deposit electrospun nanofibers in stationary and sliding substrates. Due to its ease of setup and ability to massproduce nanofiber mats, the electrospinning method has grown more popular than other nanofiber production technologies. The collector’s design, movement, and form can have an impact on the creation of nanofiber mats. A polyacrylonitrile solution (20 wt%) was developed and it was deposed in both sliding and stationary substrates to create mats. The results of the strength test of the polyacrylonitrile mat and composite polyacrylonitrile epoxy specimen were compared from both sliding and stationary substrates. The mechanical behaviour of the composite polyacrylonitrile nanofiber mats on the side panel of the motorbike was investigated. For this, mathematical modelling of the motorcycle side panel was examined in ANSYS, and the findings were compared to those of standard Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic. According to the results, PAN nanofiber composite surpasses ABS plastic in the yield strength, equivalent stress, and total deformation by 71.25%, 56.37% and 17.68%, respectively. Compared to standard ABS plastic, the PAN nanofiber composite exhibits superior mechanical characteristics, according to the static analysis on ANSYS. Consequently, the PAN nanofiber composite mat may be utilised to substitute ABS plastic in certain applications.
