Abstract

The thermoelastic properties of quasicrystals, possessing 5-th, 8-th, 10-th and 12-th order rotational axes, not characteristic of crystalline bodies, are considered. Using group analysis, canonical representations of the second and fourth rank tensors, characterizing the properties of quasicrystals, are constructed. The fact that orthogonal, decagonal and dodecagonal quasicrystals belong to the class of transversely isotropic materials and the isotropy of icosahedric quasicrystals and fullerenes are proved.
