The ELASTIC 3D ANISOTROPIC model is an extension of the ELASTIC model which allows for full anisotropy in both the material stiffness and thermal expansion. Each stiffness component is labeled with \(i\) and \(j\) indices which correspond to the components of stress and strain vectors in contracted notation,

\[\begin{split}\begin{bmatrix} \sigma_{11} \\ \sigma_{22} \\\sigma_{33} \\\sigma_{12} \\\sigma_{23} \\\sigma_{13} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} C_{11} & C_{12} & C_{13} & C_{14} & C_{15} & C_{16} \\ C_{12} & C_{22} & C_{23} & C_{24} & C_{25} & C_{26} \\ C_{13} & C_{23} & C_{33} & C_{34} & C_{35} & C_{36} \\ C_{14} & C_{24} & C_{34} & C_{44} & C_{45} & C_{46} \\ C_{15} & C_{25} & C_{35} & C_{45} & C_{55} & C_{56} \\ C_{16} & C_{26} & C_{36} & C_{46} & C_{56} & C_{66} \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \epsilon_{11}^{\mathrm{mech}} \\ \epsilon_{22}^{\mathrm{mech}} \\\epsilon_{33}^{\mathrm{mech}} \\\epsilon_{12}^{\mathrm{mech}} \\\epsilon_{23}^{\mathrm{mech}} \\\epsilon_{13}^{\mathrm{mech}} \end{bmatrix}\,,\end{split}\]

where the stress and strain components are with respect to principal material directions. The thermal strains are defined in a similar manner,

\[\epsilon = \epsilon^{\mathrm{mech}} + \epsilon^{\mathrm{th}}, \epsilon^{\mathrm{th}} = [\epsilon_{11}^{\mathrm{th}}(\theta)\, \epsilon_{22}^{\mathrm{th}}(\theta)\, \epsilon_{33}^{\mathrm{th}}(\theta)\, \epsilon_{12}^{\mathrm{th}}(\theta)\, \epsilon_{23}^{\mathrm{th}}(\theta)\, \epsilon_{13}^{\mathrm{th}}(\theta)]^\mathrm{T}\,.\]

In a finite strain situation, the anisotropic model is formulated in a hypoelastic manner with a constitutive equation of

\[\dot{\sigma}_{ij} = C_{ijkl}\left( D_{kl} - D_{kl}^{\mathrm{th}}\right)\,,\]

where \(D_{kl}\) and \(D_{kl}^\mathrm{th}\) are the total and thermal strain rates, respectively, and the components of the fourth order stiffness tensor \(C_{ijkl}\) are related to the contracted notation by

\[\begin{split}\left[\mathbb{C}\right] = \begin{bmatrix} C_{1111} & C_{1122} & C_{1133} & C_{1112} & C_{1123} & C_{1113} \\ C_{1122} & C_{2222} & C_{2233} & C_{2212} & C_{2223} & C_{2213} \\ C_{1133} & C_{2233} & C_{3333} & C_{3312} & C_{3323} & C_{3313} \\ C_{1112} & C_{2212} & C_{3312} & C_{1212} & C_{1223} & C_{1213} \\ C_{1123} & C_{2223} & C_{3323} & C_{1223} & C_{2323} & C_{2313} \\ C_{1113} & C_{2213} & C_{3313} & C_{1213} & C_{2313} & C_{1313} \end{bmatrix}\,.\end{split}\]
