We may demonstrate the tensor character of C by a consideration of the<br />

elastic constitutive equation when expressed in a rotated (primed) coordinate<br />

system in which it has the <strong>for</strong>m<br />

(6.1-5)<br />

But by the trans<strong>for</strong>mation laws <strong>for</strong> second-order tensors, along with Eq 6.1-3,<br />

=<br />

which by a direct comparison with Eq 6.1-5 provides the result<br />

(6.1-6)<br />

that is, the trans<strong>for</strong>mation rule <strong>for</strong> a fourth-order Cartesian tensor.<br />

In general, the C ijkm coefficients may depend upon temperature, but here<br />

we assume adiabatic (no heat gain or loss) and isothermal (constant temperature)<br />

conditions. We also shall ignore strain-rate effects and consider the<br />

components C ijkm to be at most a function of position. If the elastic coefficients<br />

are constants, the material is said to be homogeneous. These constants are<br />

those describing the elastic properties of the material. The constitutive law<br />

given by Eq 6.1-3 is known as the generalized Hooke’s law.<br />

For certain purposes it is convenient to write Hooke’s law using a single<br />

subscript on the stress and strain components and double subscripts on the<br />

elastic constants. To this end, we define<br />
