Abstract

We derive asymptotic formulas for two dimensional steady state voltage potentials associated with thin, "curve-like" conductivity imperfections. Our derivation is formal, and based on asymptotic matching of terms in an appropriate set of integral equations. In combination with the formulas (rigorously) derived in [3] for imperfections of small diameter, these new formulas cover the generic imperfections of small area in two dimensions.
