Space of SO(3) orbits of elasticity tensors

We construct an eighteen-dimensional orbifold that is in a one-to-one correspondence with the space of SO (3)-orbits of elasticity tensors. This allows us to obtain a local parametrization of SO (3)-orbits of elasticity tensors by six SO (6)-invariant and twelve SO (3)-invariant parameters. This pro...
