The three groups which define the symmetry properties of the three cry
stal classes in the rhombic system are referred to as being three dime
nsional orthotropic. In the present part the complete representations
for three-dimensional orthotropic scalar-valued, vector-valued, symmet
ric tensor-valued and skew-symmetric tensor-valued functions of symmet
ric tensors, skew-symmetric tensors and vectors are determined. The ir
reducibility of these representations is proved in the final part V of
this paper. In addition, a generalization for these representations i
s given.
