Upper bounds estimates of the distance to cubic or orthotropic elasticity by Desmorat, Rodrigue, Kolev, Boris

“…Since all the second-order covariants of an (exactly) cubic elasticity tensor are isotropic, distance estimates based only on such covariants are not always accurate. We extend to cubic symmetry and to orthotropy the technique recently suggested by Klimeš for transverse isotropy: solving analytically an auxiliary quadratic minimization problem whose solution is a second-order tensor that carries the likely cubic coordinate system. …”
