Abstract
In this paper, steady-state plane conduction problems are considered. Two theorems are proven on the conductance of non-homogeneous and anisotropic plane conductors. Here, the conductor is a two-dimensional bounded plane domain with a conducting matter having two seperated boundary terminals and two seperated insulated boundary segments. Known theorems referring to homogeneous and isotropic conductors have been extended to non-homogeneous and anisotropic ones. The results of the paper can be directly used in following fields: heat flow, diffusion, irrotational hydraulic flow, flow of electrical current and anti-plane shear deformation. Application of formulae derived is illustrated in the examples of heat flow and anti-plane elastic shear deformation.
