If a higher order continuum theory is used in a numerical simulation, the material parameters have to be derived. The experimental determination is laborious and sometimes impossible. Alternatively homogenization methods can be used for the numerical identification of overall material parameters. A short introduction to the micropolar continuum and the homogenization approach is followed by the discussion of the identified properties. Therefore some parameter studies are presented.
