Abstract
The mean-field theory for lossy nonlinear composites, described by com plex and field-dependent dielectric functions, is presented. By using the spectral representation of linear composites with identical micros tructure, we develop self-consistent equations for the effective respo nse. We examine two types of microstructure, namely, the Maxwell-Garne tt approximation and the effective medium approximation to illustrate the theory. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
