The transformation ( 4.12 )or( 4.13 ) is thus seen to leave the transversely
isotropic form of the tensor A unchanged by the reflection only if A 11 ¼
A 22 .
It follows then that the transversely isotropic form of the tensor A consistent with
transversely isotropic symmetry characterized by a plane of isotropy in the e 1 , e 2
plane must satisfy the conditions A 11 ¼
A 22 . This result for transversely isotropic
symmetry is recorded in Table 4.3 . Algebraic procedures identical with those
described above may be used to show that the forms of the tensor A consistent
with the trigonal, tetragonal, and hexagonal symmetries are each identical with that
for transversely isotropic symmetry.
Isotropic symmetry is characterized by every direction being the normal to a
plane of reflective symmetry, or equivalently, every plane being a plane of isotropy.
This means that the material coefficients appearing in the representation of A for
transversely isotropic symmetry must be unchanged by any reflective symmetry
transformation characterized by any unit vector in any direction. In addition to the
e 1 , e 2 plane considered as the plane of isotropy for transversely isotropic symmetry,
it is required that the e 2 , e 3 plane be a plane of isotropy. The second plane of
isotropy is characterized by the unit vector a
