Synopsis

We give a complete solution to the G-closure problem for mixtures of two well-ordered possibly anisotropic conductors. Both the G-closure with fixed volume fractions and the full G-closure are computed. The conductivity tensors are considered in a fixed frame and no rotations are allowed.
