Methods of measuring the resistivities of anisotropic conducting media in situ

Abstract

Several static boundary value problems involving anisotropic media have been solved and the results are presented here. The solutions have been applied to simple electrode configurations to obtain formulas for in situ determinations of the resistivities of anisotropic conducting media. The boundaries treated include infinite, semi-infinite, slab and spherical shapes. The media are anisotropic with a common resistivity in two orthogonal directions and a lower resistivity in the third orthogonal direction.
