Estimation of the effective properties of composite materials from those of the constituents and the material's morphology is a classical problem of both theoretical and technological interest. In this work, the authors have introduced an asymptotic back strain finite element approach for numerical estimation of effective properties of multiphase materials. The proposed approach should open an appealing pathway to rational and effective computer aided design of random microstructure composite materials.
