determination of stiffness matrix of transversely isotropic material

transversely isotropic material

Dear all, I am an applied mathematician and I  have been stucked by the this general question for a while, i.e.,  to determine the stiffness matrix of transversely isotropic material from known strain and stress tensors.  The definition of transversely isotropic tells us that the stiffness matrix can be defined by 5 constants, see attached figure. C44 is easy to determine, so we can focus on the remaining 4 constants. I attempted to establish 4 linear equations for these 4 constants with the known strain and stress components.
