Homework:

  1. Starting with hyperelastic material, first take x2-x3 plane as plane of material symmetry and obtain the stiffness matrix. Is this matrix the same as in Equation (3.20) ? Justify your answer.

  2. Starting with the stiffness matrix obtained in the above problem, take x1-x3as an additional plane of symmetry and obtain the stiffness matrix. Is this matrix the same as in Equation (3.26)? Justify your answer.
