Abstract
A new calculation method of determining the elastic constants of a polycrystalline material from single-crystal elastic coefficients is presented. The averaging procedure satisfies the condition of commutation with the inversion operation. It can be applied to any crystal symmetry and allows to take texture into account. The properties of the averaging procedure are given and compared to the corresponding properties of the arithmetic averaging method. Eine neue Berechnungsmethode zur Bestimmung der elastischen Konstanten von polykristallinem Material aus Einkristallkonstanten wird dargestellt. Die Vertauschungsrelation zwischen der Mittelungsprozedur und der Inversionsoperation ist erfullt. Die Methode kann fur jede Kristallsymmetrie angewandt werden und erlaubt die Berucksichtigung der Textur. Die Eigenschaften der vorgeschlagenen Mittelungsprozedur werden gezeigt und mit den entsprechenden Eigenschaften der arithmetischen Mittelung verglichen.

The Seismic Anisotropy of the Earth's Mantle: from Single Crystal to Polycrystal

TL;DR: In this paper, the anisotropic single crystal seismic properties are reviewed in the light of recent experimental and theoretical determinations and it is emphasized that simple seismic symmetry pattern of upper mantle rocks are a direct result of the interaction of olivine, opx and cpx.

Methods of calculating petrophysical properties from lattice preferred orientation data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the theoretical problems of calculating the physical properties of an aggregate from the constituent crystal properties and the lattice preferred orientation, and show that the Voigt and Reuss bounds become increasingly separated with inceasing anisotropy, emphasising the need for better methods.

On the diffractive determination of single-crystal elastic constants using polycrystalline samples

TL;DR: The diffractive determination of single-crystal elastic constants using polycrystalline samples represents the inverse problem to the (direct) experiment of conventional diffractive residual-stress analysis as discussed by the authors.

Berechnung der elastischen Konstanten des Vielkristalls aus den Konstanten des Einkristalls

TL;DR: In this article, anwendungsmoglichkeiten der Methode werden besprochen, in which experimentelle Vergleichswerte weichen von den berechneten etwas ab, was beweist, das die Experimente nicht den von der Theorie geforderten idealen Bedingungen genugt haben.
