TLDR
In this article, the temperature dependence of the elastic stiffness constants was investigated for 57 elastic constants of 22 substances and the applicability of these two equations and that of Wachtman's equation was examined.Abstract:
The following two equations are proposed for the temperature dependence of the elastic stiffness constants: ${c}_{\mathrm{ij}}={c}_{\mathrm{ij}}^{0}\ensuremath{-}\frac{s}{({e}^{\frac{t}{T}}\ensuremath{-}1)}$ and ${c}_{\mathrm{ij}}=a\ensuremath{-}\frac{b{T}^{2}}{(T+c)}$, where ${c}_{\mathrm{ij}}^{0}$, $s$, $t$, $a$, $b$, and $c$ are constants. The applicability of these two equations and that of Wachtman's equation is examined for 57 elastic constants of 22 substances. The first equation has a theoretical justification and gives the best over-all results. Neither of the three equations give the theoretically expected ${T}^{4}$ dependence at low temperatures, and therefore they are not expected to give very accurate results at very low temperatures ($\ensuremath{\lesssim}\frac{{\ensuremath{\Theta}}_{D}}{50}$). A new melting criterion is also examined.read more

The Elastic Properties of Composite Materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of determining the elastic properties of composite materials (polycrystals, polycrystals and porous or cracked solids) is approached in several ways, via scattering theory, through variational principles, or by the assumption of specific geometries for the material under consideration.
