Multi-Resolution Homogenization (MRH) for Short Pulse Fields and for Fault Interrogation in Complex Laminates

The study of propagation and scattering of waves in multi-scale heterogeneity laminates is of fundamental importance in diverse areas of applications such as material synthesis, circuits design, fault interrogation, etc. Typically, these applications involve ultra wideband (UWB) short-pulse waves since they furnish the most complete data base for synthesis and interrogation. Yet, as the scales of the laminate heterogeneities ranges from the micro (a fraction of a wavelength) to the macro (wavelength and above), the analysis of the entire set of associated wave phenomena and their detailed structure pose a problem of overwhelming complexity.
