The basic principle of positive strain energy density of an anisotropic linear or non-linear elastic solid imposes bounds on the values of the stiffness and compliance tensor components. Although rational mathematical structuring of valid intervals for these components is possible and relatively simple, there are mathematical procedures less strictly followed by previous authors, which led to an overestimation of the bounds and misinterpretation of experimental results.
