Abstract
The paper is devoted to problems related to two-dimensional Nye figures for micropolar continua. The representation technique known from studies on crystallography for 4th, 3rd and 2nd rank tensors is employed by two-dimensional matrices, supplied by relationships between their elements. Such representations are commonly used to simplify a script of the equations of athermic micropolar elastic solids. This method allows us to graphically represent micropolar constitutive tensors and pseudotensors in the form of specific two-dimensional blocks. The Nye figures for the micropolar elastic solids are obtained. The Nye figures enables us to discriminate anisotropic solids and figure out general anisotropic, hemitropic, isotropic, and ultraisotropic continua.
