A virtual testing framework and a new manufacturing process were developed to investigate how grouping similar fibre types within a hybrid discontinuous composite affects the strength and pseudo-ductility of the material. Both the experiments and modelling showed that increasing the level of random intermingling prevents large clusters of broken fibres from forming, which maximises the strength and pseudo-ductility of hybrid discontinuous composites.
