An efficient computational model to simulate tensile failure of both hybrid and non-hybrid composite materials is proposed. This model is based on the spring element model, which is extended to a random 2D fibre packing. The proposed model is used to study the local stress fields around a broken fibre as well as the failure process in composite materials. The influence of fibre strength distributions and matrix properties on this process is also analysed. A detailed analysis of the fracture process and cluster development is performed and the results are compared with experimental results from the literature.
