The two-scale asymptotic(TSA)expression of the displacement and the increment of temperature for composite materials with a small periodic configuration under the condition of thermoelasticity are briefly shown at first,then the multi-scale finite element algorithms based on TSA are discussed.Finally the numerical results evaluated by the multi-scale computational method are shown.It demonstrates that the basic configuration and the increment of temperature strongly influence the local strains and local stresses inside a basic cell.展开更多
