The phrase "a single flaw" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to one specific imperfection or defect in something.
Example: "Despite the overall quality of the product, there was a single flaw that affected its performance."
Alternatives: "one defect" or "a solitary imperfection."
THERE is a single flaw shared by most chefs' cookbooks: very few of them actually make you want to cook.
After decades of building the world's greatest water system, the city had stumbled across its weak point, a single flaw that had rendered an otherwise invincible body mortal.
My point is that, when you get down to it, at the fundamental heart of it lies a single flaw, which is that it is an absolute.
The algorithm is based on a powerful generic equation, a central parameter in which is the conditional individual probability of initiating failure by a single flaw.
The equations are based on the concept 'conditional individual probability of initiating failure' characterising a single flaw given that it is in the stressed component.
Micheline Lerner, who was once married to the lyricist Alan Jay Lerner, claims that after 30 years of living in her Woolf estate, she "cannot find a single flaw".

As a result, the crack evolution mechanism and cracking type in sandstone containing a single oval flaw under uniaxial compression are revealed.
And then, PFC2D was used to simulate sandstone containing a single oval flaw under uniaxial compression, and the simulated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.
In this research, the strength, deformation and crack evolution behavior of sandstone containing a single oval flaw under uniaxial compression were evaluated by experiment and numerical simulation using a two-dimension particle flow code (PFC2D).
