TL;DR Summary
How did Voigt derive the average shear modulus of an anisotropic material, G=1/5 (A-B+3C), where 3A=c11+c22+c33, 3B=c12+c13+c23, 3C=c44+c55+c66?

The original text is published in German about 100 years ago. I looked for other papers explaining this, but none has explained the derivation. They simply quote the result.

Welcome to PF.
Have you tried to 'google translate' Voigt's 1889 German paper ?
 

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
