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

M Moakher, AN Norris - Journal of Elasticity, 2006 - Springer
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 …

On the averaging of symmetric positive-definite tensors

M Moakher - Journal of Elasticity, 2006 - Springer
In this paper we present properly invariant averaging procedures for symmetric positive-
