Abstract: In the paper the elasticity tensor anti the relation between stress and strain of transverse isotropic material and isotropic material are deduced by tensor derivate. From the derivation the reason why there are two independent elasticity coefficients for isotropic elastic material and five for transverse isotropic elastic material can be seen more clearly.

Key words: tensor, transverse isotropic material, strain energy, elashcity, tensor Derivate
