Abstract

The transformation groups which characterize transverse isotropy were listed in (c) of Section 3 of Chapter 8. For simplicity, we consider Case (ii), which is invariance under the group generated by the rotations and the reflection . If only second-order tensors are considered, it is not necessary to distinguish between the five cases listed under (c) of Section 3 of Chapter 8.
