Isotropic for a linear elastic material that has the same properties in all directions.

Orthotropic for a linear elastic material that has different material properties in orthogonal directions. It is also possible to define Transversely isotropic material properties.

Anisotropic for a linear elastic material that has different material properties in different directions.

Shear-wave speed (transverse wave speed) cs. This is the wave speed for a solid continuum. In plane stress, for example, the actual speed with which a longitudinal wave travels is lower than the value given.

νij is defined differently depending on the application field. It is easy to transform among definitions, but check which one the material uses.
