Abstract

For each of the 88 isotropy classes of elastic materials, we consider a homogeneous random field taking values in the fixed point set V\mathsf{V} of the corresponding class, that is isotropic with respect to the natural orthogonal representation of a group lying between the isotropy group of the class and its normaliser. We find the general form of the correlation tensors of orders 11 and 22 of such a field, and the field's spectral expansion.
