Abstract
In rotational transformation of constitutive matrices, some practical
quantities are often termed invariants, but the invariance relates to an unchanged
reference direction. Rotating this reference direction, the practical quantities
do change and this point is clarified with derived rotational transformation
for these practical quantities. The research background for optimal anisotropic
constitutive matrices is shortly presented. Then design results are applied in a 2D
visualization of optimized constitutive matrices, that are distributed in a finite element
(FE) model where each element has a specific reference direction. The
visualized distributions of physical quantities are; stiffest material direction, material
stiffest longitudinal constitutive component, level of anisotropy, absolute
or relative shear stiffness and orthotropy test.
