In the work, a modified effective medium theory is constructed for calculating the effective properties of thermoelectric composites with different values of percolation thresholds. It is shown that even at concentrations beyond the…
An effective medium theory for resonant and non-resonant metamaterials for flexural waves in thin plates is presented. The theory provides closed-form expressions for the effective parameters of arrangement of inclusions or resonators in…
We develop a dynamical effective medium theory to accurately predict the unusual properties of elastic metamaterials in two dimensions near the resonant frequencies. The theory shows that the effective bulk modulus, shear modulus, and mass…
Electromagnetic (EM) composites have stimulated tremendous fundamental and practical interests owing to their flexible electromagnetic properties and extensive potential engineering applications. Hence, it is necessary to systematically…
In the framework of multiple-scattering theory, we show that the dispersion relations of certain electromagnetic (EM) and elastic metamaterials can be obtained analytically in the long-wavelength limit. Specific examples are given to the…
We formulate an effective medium (mean field) theory of a material consisting of randomly distributed nodes connected by straight slender rods, hinged at the nodes. Defining novel wavelength-dependent effective elastic moduli, we calculate…
We propose a theoretical approach for calculating effective electric and magnetic properties of composites with field-dependent restructuring of the filler. The theory combines the Bruggeman-Landauer approximation extended to a…
We investigate the effective properties (conductivity, diffusivity and elastic moduli) of model random composite media derived from Gaussian random fields and overlapping hollow spheres. The morphologies generated in the models exhibit low…
Composites are ideally suited to achieve desirable multifunctional effective properties since the best properties of different materials can be judiciously combined with designed microstructures. Here we establish cross-property relations…
The transport coefficients of disordered media are analyzed using direct numerical simulation and effective medium theory. The results indicate a range of materials parameters for which disorder leads to an enhanced power factor. This…
The effective medium representation is fundamental in providing a performance-to-design approach for many devices based on metamaterials. While there are recent works in extending the effective medium concept into the temporal domain, a…
Reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves by artificial periodic composites (metamaterials) can be accurately modeled by an effective medium theory only if the boundary of the medium is explicitly taken into account and the two…
Composite materials where magnetic micrometer-sized particles are embedded into a compliant polymer matrix are known as magnetorheological or magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs). They are distinguished by huge variations of their physical…
Here, we present an overview of recent developments in the characterization of electromagnetic and quantum metamaterials using effective medium methods. It is highlighted that both electromagnetic and electronic systems can be homogenized…
The problem of definition of effective material parameters (permittivity and permeability) for composite layers containing only one-two parallel arrays of complex-shaped inclusions is discussed. Such structures are of high importance for…
The approach to calculating the effective dielectric and magnetic response in bounded composite materials is developed. The method is essentially based on the renormalisation of the dielectric matrix parameters to account for the surface…
We develop an Effective Medium Theory to study the electrical transport properties of disordered graphene. The theory includes non-linear screening and exchange-correlation effects allowing us to consider experimentally relevant strengths…
Effective medium theory replaces a given fine-scale heterostructure with a homogeneous one in such a way that the physically measurable quantities, e.g. reaction fields and losses, remain approximately the same. This Letter shows that the…
Recent experimental observations of anisotropic conductivity in stretched polymer electrolytes films of the polyethylene oxide family are discussed. The main experimental observations, enhancement of the ionic diffusion and conductivity in…
We study the imaginary part of the effective $ac$ conductivity as well as its distribution probability for vanishing losses in 2D composites. This investigation showed that the effective medium theory provides only informations about the…
