Assumption<br />

Homogenisation (determ<strong>in</strong>istic <strong>media</strong>)<br />

The medium exhibits small scale periodicity, i.e.,<br />

Aor = A ɛ or(x) = A per<br />

�<br />

x<br />

�<br />

or ,<br />

ɛ<br />

Gd = G ɛ d(x) = G per<br />

�<br />

x<br />

�<br />

d ,<br />

ɛ<br />

where A per<br />

or (·), G per<br />

d (·) are periodic matrix-valued functions on the<br />

parallelepided Y = [0, ℓ1] × [0, ℓ2] × [0, ℓ3] ⊂ R 3 <strong>and</strong> 0 < ɛ ≪ 1.<br />

(37)<br />

The set Y may be considered as the fundamental cell of the medium; the<br />

whole medium structure can be generated by repeat<strong>in</strong>g the structure <strong>in</strong> Y<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g translations.<br />

To ease notation, we drop the superscript “per” from Aper Aɛ � �<br />

or(x) = Aor <strong>and</strong> Gɛ d(x) = Gd <strong>in</strong>stead.<br />
