The rnk of the tensors etermines the numbers of the tensor comonents. The number of the comonents of the 0,,,,4,5,6-rnk tensors re,, 9, 7, 8, 4, 79. However, certin smmetries consierbl reuce the number of the ineenent comonents. These m be intrinsic smmetries, inherent in the hsicl roert, or crstl smmetries.
In some instnces the intrinsic smmetries follow from the efinition of the hsicl roert in question. Thus for exmle in the cse of elsticit it follows from the smmetr of the stress n eformtion tensors tht lso the fourth-rnk tensor of the secon-orer elstic stiffnesses [c ijkl ] (see Tble ) is smmetric with resect to the (ij) n (kl) ermuttions. This w the number of the ineenent coefficients of the fourth-rnk elstic tensor ecreses from 8 to 6. Further on from the smmetr of the eformtion tensor follows the smmetr of the [ ijk ] ieo-electric tensor (see Tble ) with resect to the commutbilit of the j n k suffixes, which mens tht the ieoelectric tensor hs not more thn 8 ineenent comonents. Neumnns Princile the smmetr elements of n hsicl roert of crstl must inclue ll the smmetr elements of the oint grou of the crstl. Accoring to Neumnns rincile the tensor reresenting n hsicl roert shoul be invrint with regr to ever smmetr oertion of the given crstl clss. The conition of invrince reuces the number of the ineenent tensor comonents, since it signifies reltionshis between the tensor comonents.
xmle: Let us consier the form of the roelectric tensor in the crstl clss of the trigonl sstem ssuming tht the x xis of the coorinte sstem is the three-fol rottion xis. Consulting the tbles, the coorinte trnsformtion relte to the smmetr oertion cn be escribe with the following mtrix Tking into consiertion the smmetr of the crstl n the invrince of the olr tensor: 0 0 0 0 Bse on these equtions 0 n cn iffer from ero. Consequentl the form of the roelectric tensor of crstl clss of the trigonl sstem will be [0; 0; ].
