"standard" orientation and elasticity constants

Post by hicpalm » Thu Dec 09, 2010 4:45 pm

hello everybody,
I am looking for unit cell orientation for hexagonal and rhombohedral symmeties, for which the elastic tensor C_ij takes the simplest form and in which the elasticity constants are usually expressed.
thank you for attention.
