Description

IsotropicRank4TensorLame is a rank 4 tensor with isotropic symmetry, expressed in Lamé coefficients.

lmbda is the Lamé \(\lambda\) coefficient, which is equal to \(C_{12}\). (The word lambda is a Python keyword, so it can't be used as a variable unless it's spelled wrong.)

mu is the Lamé \(\mu\) coefficient, equal to \((C_{11}-C_{12})/2\).
