Heterogeneous media with multiple spatial scales are finding increased importance in engineering. An example might be a large scale, otherwise homogeneous medium filled with dispersed small-scale particles that form aggregate structures at an intermediate scale. The objective in this paper is to formulate the strong-form Fourier heat conduction equation for such media using the method of reiterated homogenization. The phases are assumed to have a perfect thermal contact at the interface. The ratio of two successive length scales of the medium is a constant small parameter ε. The method is an up-scaling procedure that writes the temperature field as an asymptotic multiple-scale expansion in powers of the small parameter ε . The technique leads to two pairs of local and homogenized equations, linked by effective coefficients. In this manner the medium behavior at the smallest scales is seen to affect the macroscale behavior, which is the main interest in engineering. To facilitate the physical understanding of the formulation, an analytical solution is obtained for the heat conduction equation in a functionally graded material (FGM). The approach presented here may serve as a basis for future efforts to numerically compute effective properties of heterogeneous media with multiple spatial scales.

We consider the homogenization of sequences of integral functionals defined on media with several length-scales. Our general results connected to the corresponding homogenized functional are used to analyze new types of structures and to illustrate the wide range of effective properties achievable through reiteration. In particular, we consider a two-phase structure which is optimal when the integrand is a quadratic form and point out examples where the macroscopic behavior of this structure underlines an effective energy density which is lower than that of the best possible multirank laminate. We also present some results connected to a reiterated structure where the effective property is extremely sensitive of the growth of the integrand.
