Visualization of matrix of elastic properties of crystals using specialized graphic packets

A review of the means of visualizing elastic properties of cubic crystals by the matrix of elastic constants is performed. As an example, the measurement data for cij cubic TiNi single crystals is used. It is known for its martensitic transformations, shape memory effects and super-elasticity, as well as TiFe crystals isomorphic to nickelide titanum. The matrix of elastic constants of crystals was visualized using the program of computer algebra Mathcad, ELATE calculation and graphics programs: Elastic tensor analysis and SC-EMA: Self-Consistent Elasticity of Multi-phase Aggregates. The characteristic surfaces of Young’s modulus, the shift, and the Poisson’s ratio are obtained.
