Abstract

We identify microstructures that extremize sums of strain energy densities. For one energy we exhibit optimal laminar composites that are orthotropic with axes given by the eigenbasis of the homogeneous strain. Some partial results on the uniqueness of the optimal microstructures are obtained. © 1994.
