In three dimensional heterogeneous medium, this type of for r ,

in computation of the effective admittivity ef . where is determined by

Next, we will investigate the effective admittivity for
dilute suspensions of membrane of materials. We will express 2 (ext int )
potential of models comprising suspension of arbitrary-
shaped membrane, using double layer potential technique. for r ,
