Tow-based discontinuous composites (TBDCs) are a growing class of high performance discontinuous composites used in structural applications. These materials have significant spatial variability in their microstructure and mechanical properties, which adds complexity to structural design using TBDCs. This study proposes a FE Monte-Carlo simulation framework to predict the mechanical response of a TBDC structure, while accounting for the variability in the microstructure of TBDCs. The simulation framework calculates a stochastic distribution of the modulus and strength of TBDCs; it then defines a characteristic spacing between uncorrelated material property points, at which the stochastic distributions of modulus and strength are assigned to a structure. The structure is then analysed in a Finite Element (FE) software, whose results are mesh-independent.
