Name

CubicRank2Tensor — A rank 2 tensor with cubic symmetry

Synopsis

CubicRank2Tensor(xx)

Description

A CubicRank2Tensor is a symmetric second rank tensor with cubic rotational symmetry. The argument xx is a real number. The structure is shown in Figure 6.122.

	Note
	The `CubicRank2Tensor` is identical to the `IsotropicRank2Tensor`. Since people are accustomed to specifying isotropic properties in terms of scalars, instead of tensors, OOF2 doesn't actually provide an `IsotropicRank2Tensor` class. The `CubicRank2Tensor` is provided simply so that the user interface can present the same symmetries for rank 2 properties as for rank 4 properties.
