Does someone know whether a thin plate of silicon polycrstalline is isotrope or anisotrope? For example, we carry out a bending test in different positions, will we obtain the same results? The plate mentioned has just some big grains in the plan.
Are you working on large scale (macro, >micron) or small scale (nano)? If small scale, it will be anisotropic; if large scale, it could be tricky depending on the grain. You mentioned the grain is big, so it is probably anisotropic as well.
