quantity

Available identifiers

Also known as Elastic Stiffness Tensor, Elastic Modulus Tensor

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

Defining Formula: $σ_{i j} = \sum_{k = 1}^{3} \sum_{l = 1}^{3} C_{i j k l} ε_{k l}$
$C$ symbol represents elasticity tensor
$σ$ symbol represents stress tensor
$ε$ symbol represents strain tensor
