Computational Science Asked by Sagar Shah on August 29, 2021
I am trying to model a linear elastic material in Abaqus using a UMAT. For my application, I need to rotate the 6×6 compliance matrix for a given set of eigenvectors (or a rotation matrix). I came across a thread titled "debugging a rotation matrix for elastic constants" where this theory was explained in very good detail.
I was wondering if there are any good sources out there that show the actual matrix rotation process either in a computational sense or just a theoretical representation.
There are two main ways to write stress/strain tensors as 6 components vectors:
Voigt notation, that is the most common; and
Mandel-Kelvin notation, that has the advantage of writing stress and strains in the same way, so their rotations are done via the same $6times 6$ matrices.
A reference that I consider good for Voigt's notation is Auld's book (Vol. 1, Ch. 3, D) and Mehrabadi and Cowin's paper describes the rotation matrix for Mandel-Kelvin notation. In general, I would suggest that you use a CAS for your calculation since they can get long really fast. I developed a Python package and the developing version has these matrices in there.

Suppose that you have a rotation matrix
$$[Q] = begin{bmatrix} Q_{xx} &Q_{xy} &Q_{xz} Q_{yz} &Q_{yy} &Q_{yz} Q_{zx} &Q_{zy} &Q_{zz} end{bmatrix}, ,$$
and you are using the following Voigt notation order: $xx$, $yy$, $zz$, $yz$, $xz$, $xy$.
You can form the (Bond-like) rotation matrices that are described below.
$$[M] =begin{bmatrix} Q_{xx}^{2} & Q_{xy}^{2} & Q_{xz}^{2} & 2 Q_{xy} Q_{xz} & 2 Q_{xx} Q_{xz} & 2 Q_{xx} Q_{xy} Q_{yx}^{2} & Q_{yy}^{2} & Q_{yz}^{2} & 2 Q_{yy} Q_{yz} & 2 Q_{yx} Q_{yz} & 2 Q_{yx} Q_{yy} Q_{zx}^{2} & Q_{zy}^{2} & Q_{zz}^{2} & 2 Q_{zy} Q_{zz} & 2 Q_{zx} Q_{zz} & 2 Q_{zx} Q_{zy} Q_{yx} Q_{zx} & Q_{yy} Q_{zy} & Q_{yz} Q_{zz} & Q_{yy} Q_{zz} + Q_{yz} Q_{zy} & Q_{yx} Q_{zz} + Q_{yz} Q_{zx} & Q_{yx} Q_{zy} + Q_{yy} Q_{zx} Q_{xx} Q_{zx} & Q_{xy} Q_{zy} & Q_{xz} Q_{zz} & Q_{xy} Q_{zz} + Q_{xz} Q_{zy} & Q_{xx} Q_{zz} + Q_{xz} Q_{zx} & Q_{xx} Q_{zy} + Q_{xy} Q_{zx} Q_{xx} Q_{yx} & Q_{xy} Q_{yy} & Q_{xz} Q_{yz} & Q_{xy} Q_{yz} + Q_{xz} Q_{yy} & Q_{xx} Q_{yz} + Q_{xz} Q_{yx} & Q_{xx} Q_{yy} + Q_{xy} Q_{yx} end{bmatrix}$$
The rotation of a stiffness tensor in Voigt's notation is done via
$$[C'] = [M] [C] [M^T], .$$
$$[N] = begin{bmatrix}Q_{xx}^{2} & Q_{xy}^{2} & Q_{xz}^{2} & Q_{xy} Q_{xz} & Q_{xx} Q_{xz} & Q_{xx} Q_{xy} Q_{yx}^{2} & Q_{yy}^{2} & Q_{yz}^{2} & Q_{yy} Q_{yz} & Q_{yx} Q_{yz} & Q_{yx} Q_{yy} Q_{zx}^{2} & Q_{zy}^{2} & Q_{zz}^{2} & Q_{zy} Q_{zz} & Q_{zx} Q_{zz} & Q_{zx} Q_{zy} 2 Q_{yx} Q_{zx} & 2 Q_{yy} Q_{zy} & 2 Q_{yz} Q_{zz} & Q_{yy} Q_{zz} + Q_{yz} Q_{zy} & Q_{yx} Q_{zz} + Q_{yz} Q_{zx} & Q_{yx} Q_{zy} + Q_{yy} Q_{zx} 2 Q_{xx} Q_{zx} & 2 Q_{xy} Q_{zy} & 2 Q_{xz} Q_{zz} & Q_{xy} Q_{zz} + Q_{xz} Q_{zy} & Q_{xx} Q_{zz} + Q_{xz} Q_{zx} & Q_{xx} Q_{zy} + Q_{xy} Q_{zx} 2 Q_{xx} Q_{yx} & 2 Q_{xy} Q_{yy} & 2 Q_{xz} Q_{yz} & Q_{xy} Q_{yz} + Q_{xz} Q_{yy} & Q_{xx} Q_{yz} + Q_{xz} Q_{yx} & Q_{xx} Q_{yy} + Q_{xy} Q_{yx} end{bmatrix}$$
The rotation of a compliance tensor in Voigt's notation is done via
$$[C'] = [N] [C] [N^T], .$$
$$[M] = begin{bmatrix} Q_{xx}^{2} & Q_{xy}^{2} & Q_{xz}^{2} & sqrt{2} Q_{xy} Q_{xz} & sqrt{2} Q_{xx} Q_{xz} & sqrt{2} Q_{xx} Q_{xy} Q_{yx}^{2} & Q_{yy}^{2} & Q_{yz}^{2} & sqrt{2} Q_{yy} Q_{yz} & sqrt{2} Q_{yx} Q_{yz} & sqrt{2} Q_{yx} Q_{yy} Q_{zx}^{2} & Q_{zy}^{2} & Q_{zz}^{2} & sqrt{2} Q_{zy} Q_{zz} & sqrt{2} Q_{zx} Q_{zz} & sqrt{2} Q_{zx} Q_{zy} sqrt{2}Q_{yx} Q_{zx} & sqrt{2}Q_{yy} Q_{zy} & sqrt{2}Q_{yz} Q_{zz} & Q_{yy}Q_{zz} + Q_{yz} Q_{zy} & Q_{yx} Q_{zz} + Q_{yz} Q_{zx} & Q_{yx} Q_{zy} + Q_{yy} Q_{zx} sqrt{2}Q_{xx} Q_{zx} & sqrt{2}Q_{xy} Q_{zy} & sqrt{2}Q_{xz} Q_{zz} & Q_{xy}Q_{zz} + Q_{xz} Q_{zy} & Q_{xx} Q_{zz} + Q_{xz} Q_{zx} & Q_{xx} Q_{zy} + Q_{xy} Q_{zx} sqrt{2}Q_{xx} Q_{yx} & sqrt{2}Q_{xy} Q_{yy} & sqrt{2}Q_{xz} Q_{yz} & Q_{xy} Q_{yz} + Q_{xz} Q_{yy} & Q_{xx} Q_{yz} + Q_{xz} Q_{yx} & Q_{xx} Q_{yy} + Q_{xy} Q_{yx} end{bmatrix}$$
In this case, you can rotate stiffness and compliance tensors with
$$[A'] = [M] [A] [M^T], .$$
