Name

TetragonalRank2Tensor — A rank 2 tensor with monoclinic symmetry

Synopsis

TetragonalRank2Tensor(xx, zz)

Description

A TetragonalRank2Tensor is a symmetric second rank tensor with tetragonal rotational symmetry. The arguments xx and zz are real numbers. The structure is shown in Figure 6.125.

	Note
	The forms of the `TetragonalRank2Tensor`, `HexagonalRank2Tensor`, and `TrigonalRank2Tensor` are equivalent. OOF2 provides distinct classes for them so that the user interface can present the same symmetries for fourth rank properties (like elasticity) as for second rank properties (like thermal conductivity).
