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 />

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 />
