Stiffness in sample coords.<br />

• Consider how to express the elastic properties of a<br />

single crystal in the sample coordinates. In this case<br />

we need to rotate the (4 th rank) tensor from crystal<br />

coordinates to sample coordinates using the<br />

orientation (matrix), a (see lecture A):<br />

c ijkl ' = a im a jn a ko a lp c mnop<br />

• Note how the transformation matrix appears four<br />

times because we are transforming a 4th rank tensor!<br />

• The axis transformation matrix, a, is also written as λ.
