AB - A virtual testing framework was further developed to investigate the influence of defects and variability on the structural performance of various aligned discontinuous composite material systems. The virtual testing framework identified the most critical sources of variability as (i) fibre strength, (ii) the distance between fibre ends, or (iii) the level of fibre-type intermingling, depending on the material system. Fibre vacancy defects were shown to also have a significant influence on the strength and ductility of aligned discontinuous composites.
