Base class:
IsotropicRank4Tensor -
Parameters:
c11- Type: A real number.
c12- Type: A real number.
Description
IsotropicRank4TensorCij is a rank 4 tensor
with isotropic symmetry. It is parametrized by its two
independent components, c11 and
c12.
The dialog box for setting the value of the tensor is shown in Figure 6.88. Although the tensor only has two independent components, there are three different numbers that can be changed in the dialog: C11, C12, and C44. Changing any of them will update the others. If C11 or C12 is changed, a new C44 will be computed when the user hits return or clicks elsewhere. If C44 is changed, C12 will be recomputed.

Cij.
(b) Entering a new value for
C12 leaves the
widgets in an inconsistent state, but …
(c) … clicking on any other GUI element, or hitting return, updates the value of C44 to agree with the new C12.
