Abstract

This paper presents a strategy for consistently extending isotropic equations of state to model anisotropic materials over a wide range of pressures and temperatures under nearly hydrostatic conditions. The method can be applied to materials of arbitrary symmetry. The paper provides expressions for the deformation gradient tensor, the lattice parameters, the isothermal elastic compliance tensor and thermal expansivity tensor. Scalar properties including the Gibbs energy, volume and heat capacities are inherited from the isotropic equation of state. Other physical properties including the isothermal and isentropic stiffness tensors, the Grueneisen tensor and anisotropic seismic velocities can be derived from these properties.

The equation of state is demonstrated using periclase (cubic) and San Carlos olivine (orthorhombic) as examples.
