As we have shown in the class for orthotropic material (9 constants), The matrix of C, takes the following form [C1 C12 C13 C21 C31 C32 C33 0 0 0 0 C55 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 C66 0 22 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 C44 0 0 0 0 If an orthotropic solid exhibits symmetry with respect to arbitrary rotations about one of the axes (such as the -axis), it is called transversely isotropic. What will be the form of matrix C, for transversely isotropic material? Hint: You can use a rotation about the x3-axis through an angle to derive the solution. There are only 5 independent elastic constants for the transversely isotropic material.
