Bloch wave spectral analysis in the class of generalized Hashin-Shtrikman micro-structures

In this paper, we use spectral methods by introducing the Bloch waves to study the homogenization process in the non-periodic class of generalized Hashin-Shtrikman micro-structures \cite[page no. 281]{T}, which incorporates both translation and dilation with a family of scales, including one subclass of laminates. We establish the classical homogenization result with providing the spectral representation of the homogenized coefficients. It offers a new lead towards extending the Bloch spectral analysis in the non-periodic, non-commutative class of micro-structures.
