Mean Field Theory for Lossy Nonlinear Composites
نویسنده
چکیده
The mean-field theory for lossy nonlinear composites, described by complex and field-dependent dielectric functions, is presented. By using the spectral representation of linear composites with identical microstructure, we develop self-consistent equations for the effective response. We examine two types of microstructure, namely, the Maxwell-Garnett approximation and the effective medium approximation to illustrate the theory.

Thermal Vibration of Composites and Sandwich Laminates Using Refined Higher Order Zigzag Theory
Vibration of laminated composite and sandwich plate under thermal loading is studied in this paper. A refined higher order theory has been used for the purpose. In order to avoid stress oscillations observed in the implementation of a displacement based finite element, the stress field derived from temperature (initial strains) have been made consistent with total strain field. So far no study ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Percolation Characteristics of Nonlinear Composite Dielectrics
Nonlinear composite dielectrics can function as smart materials for stress control and field grading in all fields of electrical insulations. The percolation process is a significant issue of composite dielectrics. However, the classic percolation theory mainly deals with traditional composites in which the electrical parameters of both insulation matrix and conducting fillers are independent o...
متن کاملLocal Fields' Localization and Chaos and Nonlinear- Optical Enhancement in Composites
The paper is devoted to linear and nonlinear optical properties of disordered clusters and nanocomposites. Linear and nonlinear optical polarizabilities of large disordered clusters, fractal clusters in particular, and susceptibilities of nanocomposites are found and calculated numerically. A spectral theory with dipole interaction is used to obtain quantitative results. Major properties of sys...
متن کاملAnderson localization of surface plasmons and nonlinear optics of metal-dielectric composites
A scaling theory of local-field fluctuations and optical nonlinearities is developed for random metaldielectric composites near a percolation threshold. The theory predicts that in the optical and infrared spectral ranges the local fields are very inhomogeneous and consist of sharp peaks representing localized surface plasmons. The localization maps the Anderson localization problem described b...
متن کاملA Study of Electromagnetic Radiation from Monopole Antennas on Spherical-Lossy Earth Using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method
Radiation from monopole antennas on spherical-lossy earth is analyzed by the finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) method in spherical coordinates. A novel generalized perfectly matched layer (PML) has been developed for the truncation of the lossy soil. For having an accurate modeling with less memory requirements, an efficient "non-uniform" mesh generation scheme is used. Also in each time step...
