Constitutive Matrix:
The constitutive relation is the one relates stress to strain, stress is tensor of order two has 9
components, strain is also a tensor has 9 components. Then the relation between them is
established through the constitutive relation which is a elastic tensor of 9 X 9 = 81 components
σij = εkl =
After applying the moment equilibrium, the strain and stress components are reduced to 6 instead
of 9
