Abstract

A simple method is described for finding matrix representation of the elasticity tensor belonging to a trigonal, tetragonal or a hexagonal material. Suitable tensors of rank two are formed and their symmetry properties lead to the vanishing of several components and certain relations are obtained among the components of the elasticity tensor belonging to these class.
