measurements of the 9 elastic constants of an orthotropic composite

Submitted by Gao Yunxin on

Hi, it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could tell me the methods to measure the elastic constants of an orthotropic composite (3D). Can we measure one single modulus by one specific stress state? What is the efficient way to do the test? Any information related to this test is appreciated.

Thanks and regards
