Elastic Properties
------------------

.. _elastic_properties:

The following are various post-processing tools that can be used to convert the 6 x 6 elastic 
constant matrix of Birch coefficients into various quantities that characterize the elastic
properties of the system. An example of how this might be used is given in the 
:ref:`elastic constant example <elastic_constants_example>`.
