I want to simulate a resonator on a silicon (111) wafer, so I need the stiffness matrix in this plane. COMSOL provides the stiffness matrix in (100). So I tried Ville's matlab file (www.kaajakari.net/~ville/research/tutorials/elasticity_tutorial.pdf) and used changed rotation matrix to obtain the stiffness matrix in (111). The rotation matrix I used is
% Rotation matrix
Q=[
[-1/sqrt(6) -1/sqrt(6) 2/sqrt(6)];
[ 1/sqrt(2) -1/sqrt(2) 0];
[ 1/sqrt(3) 1/sqrt(3) 1/sqrt(3)];
];
But the result looks not right. Could anyone tell me what the problem is and how to solve this? Thanks.

Can you tell me what makes your result not look right? What are you exactly getting? A constant Young's modulus?
