Elasticity<br />

• Elasticity: example of a property that requires tensors<br />

to describe it fully.<br />

• Even in cubic metals, a crystal is quite anisotropic.<br />

The [111] in many cubic metals is stiffer than the<br />

[100] direction.<br />

• Even in cubic materials, 3<br />

numbers/coefficients/moduli are required to describe<br />

elastic properties; isotropic materials only require 2.<br />

• Familiarity with Miller indices is assumed.
