Question

Materials that exhibit different elastic properties in different directions are called ___________

• A. Orthotropic
• B. Isotropic
• C. Anisotropic
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Anisotropic

Materials that exhibit different elastic properties in different directions are called anisotropic. Orthotropic materials have different elastic properties in perpendicular directions. Isotropic materials exhibit the same elastic properties in all directions at a point. Homogeneous materials have the same elastic properties at all points.
