Reference transversely isotropic medium approximating a given generally anisotropic medium

Ludek Klimes

Summary

For a given stiffness tensor (tensor of elastic moduli) of a generally anisotropic medium, we determine the reference transversely isotropic (uniaxial) medium which approximates the given generally anisotropic medium.

Keywords

Elastic anisotropy, stiffness tensor, elastic moduli, transverse isotropy, approximate transverse isotropy, reference symmetry axis.
