Voigt-Reuss Bounds of Elastic Tensors of Crystal Systems
\(B\) is the Bulk Modulus; \(G\) is the Shear Modulus; \(\sigma\) is the Poisson's Ratio; \(Y\) is the Young's Modulus; \(V\) is Voigt; \(R\) is Reuss; \(H\) = Hill
In the Voigt-Reuss-Hill Approximation:
These are not provided in Voigt-Reuss notation. There is an assumption in this model of quasi-isotropic nature.
In dealing with fiber systems that are more cyrstalline in nature or possess axial anisotropy such as chirality, other models should be attempted.
\[
B = \frac{-2c_{13}^2 + (c_{11}+c_{12})c_{33}}{c_{11}+c_{12}-4c_{13}+2c_{33}}
\]
\[
Y_{\parallel} = c_{33} - \frac{2c_{13}^2}{c_{11}+c_{12}}
\]
\[
Y_{\perp} = \frac{(c_{11}-c_{12})[c_{33}(c_{11}+c_{12})-2c_{13}^2]}{c_{11}c_{33}-c_{13}^2}
\]
\[
G = c_{44}
\]
\[
\sigma_{13} = \frac{c_{13}}{c_{11}+c_{12}}
\]
\[
\sigma_{12} = \frac{c_{33}c_{12}-c_{13}^2}{c_{33}c_{11}-c_{13}^2}
\]
Mechanical Stability Criteria: \(c_{11} > |c_{12}|\), \( (c_{11}+c_{12})c_{33} > 2c_{13}^2 \), \( c_{44} > 0 \), \( c_{66} > 0 \)
And with symmetry in a fiber: \( c_{12} = c_{11} - 2c_{66} \)
This is standard orientation with the diad parallel to x2.
\[
B_V = \frac{1}{9}(c_{11} + c_{22} + c_{33}+ 2(c_{12}+c_{13}+c_{23}))
\]
\[
G_V = \frac{1}{15}\left(c_{11} + c_{22} + c_{33}+ 3(c_{44}+c_{55}+c_{66})-(c_{12}+c_{13}+c_{23})\right)
\]
\[
B_R = \frac{\Omega}{a(c_{11}+c_{22}-2c_{12})+b(2c_{12}-2c_{11}-c_{23}) + c(c_{15}-2c_{25})+d(2c_{12}+2c_{23}-c_{13}-2c_{22}) + 2e(c_{25}-c_{15})+f}
\]
\[
G_R = \frac{15}{\frac{4[a(c_{11}+c_{22}+c_{12})+b(c_{11}-c_{12}-c_{23})+c(c_{15}+c_{25}) + d(c_{22}-c_{12}-c_{23}-c_{13})+e(c_{15}-c_{25})+f]}{\Omega} + 3\left[\frac{g}{\Omega} + \frac{(c_{44}+c_{66})}{(c_{44}c_{66}-c_{46}^2)}\right]}
\]
\[
a = c_{33}c_{55}-c_{35}^2
\]
\[
b = c_{23}c_{55}-c_{25}c_{35}
\]
\[
c = c_{13}c_{35}-c_{15}c_{33}
\]
\[
d = c_{13}c_{55}-c_{15}c_{35}
\]
\[
e = c_{13}c_{25}-c_{15}c_{23}
\]
\[
f = c_{11}(c_{22}c_{55}-c_{25}^2) - c_{12}(c_{12}c_{55}-c_{15}c_{25}) + c_{15}(c_{12}c_{25}-c_{15}c_{22}) + c_{25}(c_{23}c_{35}-c_{25}c_{33})
\]
\[
g = c_{11}c_{22}c_{33}-c_{11}c_{23}^2-c_{22}c_{13}^2 - c_{33}c_{12}^2 + 2c_{12}c_{13}c_{23}
\]
\[
\Omega = 2[c_{15}c_{25}(c_{33}c_{12}-c_{13}c_{23}) + c_{15}c_{35}(c_{22}c_{13}-c_{12}c_{23}) + c_{25}c_{35}(c_{11}c_{23}-c_{12}c_{13})] - [c_{15}^2(c_{22}c_{33}-c_{23}^2)+c_{25}^2(c_{11}c_{33}-c_{13}^2) + c_{35}^2(c_{11}c_{22}-c_{12}^2)]+gc_{55}
\]
Mechanical Stability Criteria: \( c_{11}>0, c_{22}>0, c_{33}>0, c_{44}>0, c_{55}>0, c_{66}>0, \\
[c_{11}+c_{22}+c_{33}+2(c_{12}+c_{13}+c_{23})]>0, (c_{33}c_{55}-c_{35}^2)>0, (c_{44}c_{66}-c_{46}^2)>0, (c_{22}+c_{33}-2c_{23})>0,\\

Isotropic Systems
For completeness, these are provided. Note there is no Voigt-Reuss averaging scheme.
\[
Y = \frac{3 c_{12} c_{44} + 2 c_{44}^2}{c_{12} + c_{44}} = \frac{(c_{11}-c_{12})(c_{11}+2c_{12})}{c_{11}+c_{12}}
\]
\[
G = c_{44}
\]
\[
B = \frac{1}{3}\left(c_{11}+2c_{12}\right)
\]
\[
\sigma = \frac{c_{12}}{c_{11}+c_{12}}
\]
Subject to the constraint: \( c_{44} = \frac{1}{2}(c_{11}-c_{12}) \)
