Numerical Green's function for steady-state heat conduction problems is derived in a finite-sized medium that may contain inclusions (fibers) in the matrix phase. Green's function is approximated by employing the Galerkin method that uses permissible functions which satisfy the homogeneous boundary condition for the given geometry. The present approach allows physical fields in a medium that contain multiple inclusions to be expressed through isolated integrals semi-analytically while retaining all the relevant material parameters.
