3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is minor symmetry?
Think about how the tensor describes the relationship between stress and strain.
How does minor symmetry affect the number of independent material constants?
Consider how it simplifies the equations you would use.
What does minor symmetry imply about the stiffness tensor?
Focus on the relationship between indices in the tensor.
True or False: Minor symmetry means that all components of the stiffness tensor are independent.
Consider the implications of symmetry in physical properties.
If a stiffness tensor C_{ijkl} is presented, demonstrate how minor symmetry applies and derive the implications of this property.
Consider symmetry transformations and how they affect equations.
Calculate the number of independent constants in a hypothetical material that has both minor and major symmetries.
Follow sequentially through the symmetries to count independent constants.
