Name

Lame (CubicRank4TensorLame) — Cubic rank 4 tensor in terms of Lame coefficients.

Synopsis

CubicRank4TensorLame(lmbda,mu,aniso)

Details

  • Base class: CubicRank4Tensor

  • Parameters:

    lmbda
    lambda. Type: A real number.
    mu
    Type: A real number.
    aniso
    Zener's anisotropy index. (1.0 is isotropic.) Type: A real number.

Description

CubicRank4TensorLame is a rank 4 tensor with cubic 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 \((C_{11}-C_{12})/2\).

aniso is the anisotropy coefficient, equal to \(2C_{44}/(C_{11}-C_{12})\).
