Numerical investigation of clustering effect on radioabsorbing characteristics of composite materials

The influence of particles clustering on radioabsorbing properties of compo site materials was studied. As a composite model the homogeneous dielectric matrix with,distributed particles was surveyed. Two types of materials wer e considered: with periodic and random distribution of particles. The metho d of minimal automous blocks was used for calculation of effective electrom agnetic characteristics of composites. It was found that clustering of part icles influences radioabsorbing properties of composite materials.
