Strong-Property-Fluctuation Theory for Homogenization of Bianisotropic Composites

Abstract

The strong-property-fluctuation theory (SPFT) is developed for the homogenization of bianisotropic composites with two constituent material phases. A bianisotropic comparison medium is introduced as an initial ansatz in the perturbative process resulting in the SPFT estimate of the constitutive properties of the homogenized medium. Analytic results are presented for ellipsoidal topology, and under the bilocal and long-wavelength approximations.
