3.60 Symmetry, Structure, and Tensor Properties of Materials

3.60 Symmetry, Structure, and Tensor Properties of Materials (Fall 2005, MIT OCW). Taught by Professor Bernhardt Wuensch, this course covers the derivation of symmetry theory; lattices, point groups, space groups, and their properties; use of symmetry in tensor representation of crystal properties, including anisotropy and representation surfaces; and applications to piezoelectricity and elasticity.
