3.60 Symmetry, Structure, and Tensor Properties of Materials
(Fall 2005)

MIT OCW - 3.60 Symmetry, Structure, and Tensor Properties of Materials (Fall 2005). This consists of 26 video lectures given by Prof. Bernhardt Wuensch. This course covers the derivation of symmetry theory; lattices, point groups, space groups, and their properties; use of symmetry in tensor representation of crystal properties, including anisotropy and representation surfaces; and applications to piezoelectricity and elasticity.
