The definitions of the stress <strong>and</strong> strain tensors mean<br />

that they are both symmetric (second rank) tensors.<br />

Therefore we can see that<br />

ε 23 = S 2311 σ 11<br />

ε 32 = S 3211 σ 11 = ε 23<br />

which means that,<br />

S 2311 = S 3211<br />

<strong>and</strong> in general,<br />

S ijkl = S jikl<br />

We will see later on that this reduces considerably the<br />

number of different coefficients needed.
