fourth-order tensor that describes the relationship between stress and strain in a material

Also known as Elastic Stiffness Tensor, Elastic Modulus Tensor

Description

Used in Hooke's Law for the elastic deformation of a solid.

Defining Formula: ${\sigma }_{ij}=\sum _{k=1}^3\sum _{l=1}^3{C}_{ijkl}{\epsilon }_{kl}$

$C$ symbol represents elasticity tensor

$\sigma$ symbol represents stress tensor

$\epsilon$ symbol represents strain tensor
