Hi! I'm trying to study the non-linear frequency response in a Silicon resonator for different crystal orientations. Is it possible to define anisotropy under the non-linear elastic material? Also can COMSOL show a peak bending effect in the frequency versus displacement plot?

How does nonlinearity work with anisotropy?

For a linear response, you have:
σij = Eijkl ϵkl

with implicit summation over repeated indices.

But with nonlinear, you'd have:

σij = Eijkl ϵjk + E'ijklmn ϵmn ϵkl

where E' is the 2nd order contribution

Sure, there's symmetry reduction, but that's a lot of coefficients.

Okay... I just found this: www-sop.inria.fr/asclepios/Publications/Herve.Delingette/Picinbono-GM03.pdf
