Elasticity tensor

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.

Formula(s) and quantities

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
