A Note on the Effective Lame´ Constants of Polycrystalline Aggregates of Cubic Crystals
Keyword(s):
It is well known that the Voigt and Reuss estimates of the effective shear modulus of a polycrystalline aggregate of cubic crystals are, respectively, the upper and lower bounds for this constant (μR ≤ μ ≤ μV). It is pointed out in this note that the opposite is true for the Lame´ constant λ (λV ≤ λ ≤ λR).
