It is widely accepted that the intrinsic randomness of composite microstructures creates weak regions which may trigger premature failure of the material. This paper uses a virtual testing framework to quantify how failure of aligned discontinuous composites with single or hybrid fibre-types is affected by randomness in three microstructural stochastic variables: fibre-end location, fibre-strength, and fibre-type arrangement. The results show that, by removing randomness at the micro-scale, it should be possible to improve the strength of aligned discontinuous-fibre composites by 20-30%.
