The rule of mixtures was modified based on the concept of effective fibre volume fraction. The degradation parameter of effective fibre volume fraction was proposed in consideration of the microgeometry of composite components. It was shown that the modified rule has good agreement with the experimental strength data and the degradation parameter of effective fibre volume fraction used in this study can be used on general composites.
