Remarks
Definition of the material properties for one of the following material types:
  • isotropic materials
  • anisotropic 2D and 3D materials
  • orthotropic 2D and 3D materials
The nonemclature is adopted from [1] to define the material properties in an orthotogonal 1-2-3 coordinate system. This may be illustrated by the stresses of a three-dimensional cube:
