Multiscale Modelling of Aerospace Composites——A Perspective

This paper introduces a series of approaches in the modelling of composites with complex multiscale structures and features. Fundamental theory underlying multiscale structures are brought to light and discussed. There can be considerable benefit in the representative application of multiscale modelling techniques to civil aircraft design and this aim of this paper is to provide essential perspectives from several fields of research that may be beneficial to aerospace composites modelling methodologies if applied appropriately.
