Difference between monoclinic and orthotropic materials

Mechanical Engineering

1. Reduce the monoclinic stress-strain relationships to those of an orthotropic material.

2. Show the difference between monoclinic and orthotropic materials by applying normal stress in principal directions and shear stress in principal planes, one at a time and studying the resulting nonzero and zero strains.
