Title: Random Heterogeneous Materials
Description: Composites, porous media, foams, colloidal suspensions, geological media, polymer blends, and biological media are all examples of heterogeneous materials. Often the microstructure of such materials is random. The relationship between the macroscopic (transport, mechanical, electromagnetic, and chemical) properties and microstructure of random heterogeneous materials is formulated. Topics include statistical characterization of the microstructure via n-point distribution functions; percolation theory; fractal concepts; sphere packings; Monte Carlo simulation techniques; and image analysis of microstructures; homogenization theory; effective-
