THREE-DIMENSIONAL MATERIAL ANISOTROPY
For a three-dimensional elastic anisotropic body, the generalized Hook's law is
expressed as
3 3
ij = Cijkl k l (i, j = 1,2,3)
k =1 l =1
where ij and kl are the stress and strain tensors, respectively, and Cijkl are the elastic
constants. Here the indices i, j, k and l can assume values of 1, 2 and 3. This implies that
there may exist 34 = 81 independent elastic constants.
However, it is known from the theory of elasticity, that both stress tensor ij and strain tensor
kl are symmetric. As
ij = ji , Cijkl = C jikl
U
with the property that = ij, then
ij
the constitutive relations for the general case of material anisotropy are expressed as
or, { 1} = [Cij ]{j } ; i, j = 1, 2,….,6 (6.8)
MATERIAL SYMMETRY
There may exist several situations when the distribution and orientation of
reinforcements may give rise to special cases of material property symmetry. When there
is one plane of material property symmetry (say, the plane of symmetry is x3 = 0, i.e.,
the rotation of 180 degree around the x3 axis yields an equivalent material), the elastic
constant matrix [ Cij ] is modified as

Thus there are thirteen independent elastic constants, and the material is monoclinic.
The compliance matrix [Sij] for a monoclinic material may accordingly be written
from Eq. 6.11 by replacing 'C ' with 'S '.
If there are three mutually orthogonal planes of symmetry, the material behaviour
is orthotropic. The elastic constant matrix [Cij ] is then expressed as
There exist now six independent elastic constants. Similarly, when the fibres are packed
