Here are the MATLAB main file and two associated functions (Double contraction and Conversion) for anisotropic elasticity (fourth-order elastic moduli tensor, 9*9 matrix form, Voigt notation 6*6 matrix form, etc.) The theory could be found in this [PDF].

Here is a MATLAB file that explains the concept of Spin of a Tensor in isotropic functions.

Teaching

My primary teaching objective is to equip students with a solid foundation in geomechanics, fostering their ability to think critically and innovatively. This will enable them to meet the increasing societal demands for energy and environmental sustainability. I am passionate about nurturing their capabilities and enthusiasm for advancing fundamental knowledge in geomechanics. I am keen on teaching both fundamental and applied courses in areas such as rock and soil mechanics, solid mechanics, finite element method, and elasticity and inelasticity. I also aim to offer general courses in geotechnical engineering to cultivate the upcoming generation of leaders in the field of geomechanics.
