New lower bounds for the minimum M-eigenvalue of elasticity M-tensors and applications
Abstract
Abstract M-eigenvalues of elasticity M-tensors play an important role in nonlinear elasticity and materials. In this paper, we present several new lower bounds for the minimum M-eigenvalue of elasticity M-tensors and propose numerical examples to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained results. As applications, we provide several checkable sufficient conditions for the strong ellipticity and positive definiteness of irreducible elasticity M-tensors.
