Abstract
We consider the problem of representing a generally anisotropic elasticity tensor, which might be obtained from physical measurements, by a tensor belonging to a chosen material symmetry class, so-called 'effective tensor'. Following previous works on the subject, we define this effective tensor as the solution of a global optimization problem for the Frobenius distance function. For all nontrivial symmetry classes, except isotropy, this problem is nonlinear, since it involves all orientations of the symmetry groups. We solve the problem using a metaheuristic method called particle-swarm optimization and employ quaternions to parametrize rotations in 3-space to improve computational efficiency. One advantage of this approach over previously used plot-guided local methods and exhaustive grid searches is that it allows us to solve a large number of instances of the problem in a reasonable time. As an application, we can use Monte-Carlo method to analyze the uncertainty of the orientation and elasticity parameters of the effective tensor resulting from the uncertainty of the given tensor, which may be caused, for example, by measurement errors.
