Abstract

For forty-one cubic-symmetry elements and twenty-one hexagonal-symmetry elements, we give the complete monocrystal elastic-stiffness tensor Cijkl. From the Cijkl and the mass densities, we derived other useful physical properties. First, we derived the elastic anisotropy. Second, we derived the quasiisotropic (polycrystal) elastic constants such as E = Young modulus, G = shear modulus, B = bulk modulus. C1 = longitudinal modulus, υ = Poisson ratio. Third, we derived the quasiisotropic sound velocities: longitudinal υ/, shear υs, and means υm. Fourth, we derived a solid's most important single property: the Debye characteristic temperature θ, which relates theoretically or empirically to an enormous range of solid-state phenomena.
