A simple self-consistent analysis of wave propagation in particulate composites
A simple self-consistent embedding scheme is developed for the approximate analysis of waves in a composite consisting of a matrix containing inclusions. It employs an approximate solution for scattering from a single inclusion, which allows the development of simple explicit equations, comparable with those already known for elastostatics, which are easily solved by iteration. The performance of the scheme is discussed in relation to a variety of illustrative examples.
