Composite materials are among the most prominent materials today, both in terms of applications and development. Nevertheless, their complex structure and heterogeneous nature lead to difficulties, both in the prediction of its properties and on the achievement of the ideal constituent distributions. The main focus of this work is to show the importance of computational procedures in this sense, namely in terms of the different applications of Asymptotic Expansion Homogenisation (AEH) and its integration in multiscale topology optimisation procedures.
