Abstract

We study the thermal mechanism of suppression of the anomalies in the nonlinear characteristics of inhomogeneous media. A generalized expression for the effective nonlinear conductivity is derived that allows for heat transfer from hot regions. We study the nature of the divergences in two-and three-dimensional inhomogeneous structures as depending on the local parameters and the microgeometry of the system. Finally, we show that in the critical region the effective nonlinear conductivity may be much higher than the conductivity of the components.
