  1. terminology - What is difference between homogeneous and isotropic ...

    Dec 13, 2014 · Also, isotropic is always homogeneous but the reverse is not true. And another way to say it all is that an isotropic property is invariant under translation and rotation.

  2. What does isotropic space mean? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Mar 31, 2018 · 2 The unit vector r shows that Coulomb's force is parallel to the line joining the charges. It could not be otherwise unless space itself has some built in directional property, for with two point …

  3. What is Meant by Metallic Atoms being "Isotropic"?

    Oct 1, 2024 · Many resources online say that metals are isotropic, in that they have the same properties in all directions, and it is because of their metallic bonds; because metal atoms are treated as point …

  4. forces - How to explain the isotropic nature of pressure? - Physics ...

    Sep 21, 2019 · The pressure at A is equal to pressure at B since it is at the same level and pressure is isotropic. The pressure at A could be defined as the downward thrust acting on a unit area of cross …

  5. What is the reason for isotropy in amorphous solids?

    Jul 8, 2017 · In my book, it's been mentioned that crystalline solids are anisotropic whereas amorphous solids are isotropic in nature. The reason for these has been explained (with a diagram) as: …

  6. Stiffness matrix of an orthotropic transversely isotropic material

    Jul 28, 2022 · I am studying the generalized Hooke's law for an orthotropic transversely isotropic material (the same behaviour along the directions x2 = y x 2 = y and x3 = z x 3 = z).

  7. How is a unidirectional lamina transversely isotropic?

    Feb 1, 2016 · The material itself is transverse isotropic. But if you are creating a flat-bar with this material, then the flat-bar as a whole is clearly not transverse isotropic anymore.

  8. Prove that an isotropic substance has only two elastic constants

    May 29, 2023 · Prove that an isotropic substance has only two elastic constants Ask Question Asked 2 years, 8 months ago Modified 2 years, 8 months ago

  9. general relativity - What is meant when it is said that the universe is ...

    It is sometimes said that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic. What is meant by each of these descriptions? Are they mutually exclusive, or does one require the other? And what implications r...

  10. What causes pressure in fluid and why is it isotropic?

    1) we said the pressure is isotropic, but given I'm studying fluid dynamics, with this description it seems pretty clear that the pressure will point in the direction of the fluid velocity, and in a direction normal …
