AB  - In recent years, a special attention has been directed to the investigation of the relations between the macroscopic material behaviour and its microstructure. For most of the analyses of composite structures, effective or homogenized material properties are used, instead of taking into account the individual component properties and geometrical arrangements. The effective properties are usually difficult or expensive to measure and in the design stage the composition may vary substantially, making frequent measurements prohibitive. Hence a lot of effort has been devoted into the development of mathematical and numerical models to derive homogenized material properties directly from those of the constituents and from their microstructure.
