MS rot3<br />

MS rotEuler<br />

Description and notes<br />

N-phase Voigt-Reuss-Hill average <strong>of</strong> elasticity.<br />

Reorient elasticity matrix for optimal decomposition<br />

using method <strong>of</strong> Cowin and Mehrabadi (1987) and<br />

Browaeys and Chevrot (2004).<br />

Browaeys and Chevrot (2004) decomposition <strong>of</strong> the elasticity<br />

matrix.<br />

Calculate elasticity matrix for an isotropic polycrystal<br />

given the anisotropic single crystal matrix.<br />

Rotate elasticity matrix around three orthogonal axes.<br />

Rotate an elasticity matrix given Bunges convention for<br />

Euler angles.<br />

MS rotR Use a rotation matrix to rotate an elasticity matrix.<br />

Table 2<br />

<strong>MSAT</strong> functions for the manipulation or transformation <strong>of</strong> elasticity matrices. All<br />

accept at least one elasticity matrix as an input argument and return at least one<br />

matrix as output.<br />

Function name<br />

MS anisotropy<br />

MS norms<br />

MS phasevels<br />

MS plot<br />

MS poisson<br />

Description and notes<br />

Measures <strong>of</strong> anisotropy defined by Zenner (1948), Chung<br />

and Buessem (1967), Ledbetter and Miglion (2006) and<br />

Ranganathan and Ostoja-Starzewski (2008).<br />

Browaeys and Chevrot (2004) analysis <strong>of</strong> the elasticity<br />

matrix.<br />

Calculate wave velocities in anisotropic media (Mainprice,<br />

1990).<br />

Plot wave velocities and anisotropy pole figures.<br />

Poisson’s ratio in anisotropic media (Wojciechowski,<br />

2005).<br />

MS sphere Plot a spherical plot <strong>of</strong> wave velocities or anisotropy<br />

from a set <strong>of</strong> elastic constants.<br />

Table 3<br />

<strong>MSAT</strong> functions for the analysis and visualisation <strong>of</strong> elasticity matrices. These functions<br />

all accept at least one elasticity matrix as input but do not return elasticity<br />

as part <strong>of</strong> the output.<br />
