Abstract

This Thesis is concerned with the application of stochastical mixture considerations in the analytical modeling of certain classes of electromagnetic composites. It refers to the elucidation of the electromagnetic properties of such composite materials when used in engineering applications. The analytical studies refer to the extension of the existing stochastical mixture permittivity formulations to characterize magnetic mixture materials as well as chiralic mixture media. In both cases the mixture medium is presumed to consist of a host (receptacle) and dispersed particulates (inclusions). The effects of particulate shape in both chiralic and achiralic systems are also considered. Further, the concept of particulate polarization in deciding the permittivity and/or permeability characteristics of orderly-textured mixture media is addressed so as to determine the electromagnetic properties of such orderly-textured media. Application potentials of the present studies in the design of electromagnetic composites are indicated and the scope for the future research is portrayed.
