β¦ Synopsis
A~tract. Upper and lower bounds are presented for the magnitude of the strain energy density in linear anisotropic elastic materials. One set of bounds is given in terms of the magnitude of the stress field, another in terms of the magnitude of the strain field. Explicit algebraic formulas are given for the bounds in the case of cubic, transversely isotropic, hexagonal and tetragonal symmetry. In the case of orthotropic symmetry the explicit bounds depend upon the solution of a cubic equation, and in the case of the monoclinic and triclinic symmetries, on the solution of sixth order equations.

We define stress and strain splittings appropriate to linearly elastic anisotropic materials with volumetric constraints. The treatment includes rigidtropic materials, which develop no strains under a stress pattern that is a null eigenvector of the compliance matrix. This model includes as special
