Integrity basis for a second-order and a fourth-order tensor

In this paper a scalar-valued isotropic tensor function is considered, the variables of which are constitutive tensors of orders two and four, for instance, characterizing the anisotropic properties of a material. Therefore, the system of irreducible invariants of a fourth-order tensor is constructe...
