Transformations of the Elastic Constants for Anisotropic Media by Successive Simple Rotations

摘要

The method of performing general transformations by use of Eulerian angles greatly reduces the time required for the determination of values for the elastic compliance constants (s(ij)), elastic stiffness constants (c(ij)), Young's modulus, shear modulus, or Poisson's ratio for any orientation of the cartesian coordinate system in an anisotropic material.
