An iterative method is proposed for the optimal material design of structures. The case of optimal material design with composite materials, with materials of variable microstructures and some classes of optimal topology design problems are discussed. Homogenized elastic properties can be used based either on analytic results or on numerical homogenization techniques. Several numerical examples demonstrate the theory.
