After presenting shortly the main results of the homogenization theory for periodic media, we give two applications related to damage evaluation and simulation for composite materials: (i) simulation of the evolution of damage by fibre rupture in a unidirectional composite, involving parameters defined on the microscale; and (ii) prediction of debonding near an unloaded boundary in a stratified structure, using boundary layer asymptotic expansions.
