Name

HexagonalRank2Tensor — A rank 2 tensor with monoclinic symmetry

Synopsis

HexagonalRank2Tensor(xx, zz)

Description

A HexagonalRank2Tensor is a symmetric second rank tensor with hexagonal rotational symmetry. The arguments xx and zz are real numbers. The structure is shown in Figure 6.123.

	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).
