What does the term 'isotropic' mean?

Material properties do not change with temperature

Material properties do not change with humidity

Material properties do not change with the number of loading cycles

Material properties do not change with direction

The term 'isotropic' refers to a material's properties being the same in all directions. Therefore, the correct interpretation in your provided options is:

Material properties do not change with direction.

This means that the mechanical or physical properties of an isotropic material, such as stiffness, strength, and thermal conductivity, are uniform regardless of the orientation in which they are measured.
