Show that, as the text asserts, this additional symmetry does not result<br />

in a further reduction in the elastic constant matrix, Eq 6.3-7.<br />

6.13 Let the x 1 axis be an axis of elastic symmetry of order N = 2. Determine<br />

the <strong>for</strong>m of the elastic constant matrix C αβ, assuming C αβ = C βα.<br />

Show that, if the x 1 axis is taken as an axis of elastic symmetry of any<br />

order (θ is arbitrary),<br />

C11 = C12 + 2 C44. (Hint: Expand σ = a2q a3m σqm and = a 23 ′<br />

ε23 ′ 2qa3mεqm.) 6.15 If the axis which makes equal angles with the coordinate axes is an<br />

axis of elastic symmetry of order N = 3, show that there are twelve<br />

independent elastic constants and that the elastic matrix has the <strong>for</strong>m<br />
