The closest elastic tensor of arbitrary symmetry to an elasticity tensor of lower symmetry

Maher Moakher, Andrew N. Norris

The closest tensors of higher symmetry classes are derived in explicit form for a given elasticity tensor of arbitrary symmetry. The mathematical problem is to minimize the elastic…
