Abstract
A numerical scheme is presented to compute the response of a composite mate rial to an applied field. The scheme is based on an iteration that uses a F ourier transform based projection method to compute the response of a refer ence material to the applied field, and a contraction mapping to relate the response of the reference material to the response of the composite materi al. The scheme also utilizes nested uniform grids to improve performance, a nd to evaluate the refinement of the grid.
