Abstract
A SIMPLE SELF-CONSISTENT scheme which has already been implemented for wave propagation through a matrix containing spherical inclusions is developed and applied to a composite comprising an isotropic matrix co ntaining a random array of aligned spheroidal inclusions. Results are presented for a variety of cases, including a matrix containing caviti es of very small aspect ratio, either fluid-filled or empty, to simula te a body containing an array of aligned penny-shaped cracks.
