Effects of defects on the tensile strength of short-fibre composite materials

•The composite strength is controlled by the orientation and size of the largest defect.•The defects have been characterized by X-ray computed tomography.•There is only a weak correlation between strength and the flaw stress concentration.•There is a strong correlation with the flaw size described b...
