Transverse Isotropy is observed in sedimentary rocks at long wavelengths. Each layer has approximately the same properties in-plane but different properties through-the-thickness. The plane of each layer is the plane of isotropy and the vertical axis is the axis of symmetry.
Horizontal transverse isotropy (HTI), transverse isotropy with a horizontal axis of symmetry, is associated with cracks and fractures and is found where regional stress is the dominant factor. The transverse anisotropic matrix has the same form as the isotropic matrix, except that it has five non-zero values distributed among 12 non-zero elements.

Columnar jointing in Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland Columnar jointing in the Alcantara Gorge, Sicily. Columnar jointing is a geological structure where sets of intersecting closely spaced fractures, referred to as joints, result in the formation of a regular array of polygonal prisms (basalt prisms), or columns.
Isotropy group An isotropy group is the group of isomorphisms from any object to itself in a groupoid. [dubious – discuss] [1] An isotropy representation is a representation of an isotropy group. Isotropic position A probability distribution over a vector space is in isotropic position if its covariance matrix is the identity. Isotropic ...

Wood is an example of an orthotropic material. Material properties in three perpendicular directions (axial, radial, and circumferential) are different.
The J-integral represents a way to calculate the strain energy release rate, or work per unit fracture surface area, in a material. [1] The theoretical concept of J-integral was developed in 1967 by G. P. Cherepanov [2] and independently in 1968 by James R. Rice, [3] who showed that an energetic contour path integral (called J) was independent of the path around a crack.
