Body with material properties that are different in three mutually perpendicular directions at a point in the body and further has three mutually perpendicular planes of material property symmetry are called as ________

Body with material properties that are different in three mutually perpendicular directions at a point in the body and further has three mutually perpendicular planes of material property symmetry are called as ________ Correct Answer Orthotropic materials

An Anisotropic body has material properties that are different in all directions at a point in the body. No planes of material property symmetry exist. An Inhomogeneous (also called as non-homogeneous or heterogeneous) body has nonuniform properties over the body, i.e., the properties depend on position in the body. An Isotropic body has material properties that are the same in every direction at a point in the body, i.e., the properties are independent of orientation at a point in the body.
