Errata: Metamaterials and Waves in Composites
1. Section 5.6.1: Ensemble averaging: The definition of ensemble averaged displacements should read
Z
p j (x) hu(x, t)i j =
χ j (x; α) u(x, t; α) d[p(α)] .

2. Section 5.6.2: The Willis equations: The convolution operator was not clearly defined in the text. Here is an
example of how the operator should be interpreted when both space and time are involved
Z

dx0 [G(x0 − x, t) ? (∇ · S − ṁ)(x0 , t)]

3. Section 5.7: A simpler model: The dispersion relation given in the text is wrong. The correct equation is

In the limit h → 0, the above equation is degenerate.
