✦ Synopsis

Theoretical formalisms for the homogenization of particulate composites are identified as following either the direct scattering ( ) ( ) approach DSA or the indirect scattering approach ISA . Both approaches can take inclusion size dependence and distribution statistics into account. Howe¨er, the DSA is generally limited to media with direction-independent constituti¨e properties and inclusions with simple shapes, but the ISA is not hobbled in this manner.
