contents This work investigates finite element approximations for a general class of elliptic hemivariational inequalities arising in semipermeable media. The proposed model incorporates non-isotropic and heterogeneous diffusion coefficients, alongside both interior and boundary semipermeability terms, extending the isotropic and homogeneous framework examined by Han (2019). The existence and uniqueness of solutions are rigorously established. An optimal a priori error estimate for the linear finite element approximation is derived under appropriate solution regularity assumptions. Numerical experiments are presented to corroborate the theoretical analysis and to confirm the optimal convergence rates for the non-isotropic and heterogeneous case.
