Average elastic constants and tensor invariants

A general formalism is presented that can be used to calculate the average elastic constants of a polycrystal in terms of the elastic constant of the single crystal. The formalism is based on the invariants of the second‐rank tensors and scalars obtained by a contraction of indices of the fourthrank...
