Abstrakt: This paper presents theoretical expressions giving the effective elastic moduli of a cubic or isotropic homogeneous solid under hydrostatic stress as functions of strain and temperature. The temperature dependence of these expressions is derived within the fourth-order quasi-harmonic approximation of lattice dynamics. General fourth-order finite strain equations are then deduced for the bulk modulus and shear modulus of a cubic polycrystal which is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure. It is shown that the isotropic polycrystalline parameters entering these equations may be found from the pressure and temperature derivatives of the effective single-crystal elastic moduli by means of the Voigt-Reuss-Hill averaging procedure. Finally, the temperature variations of the effective polycrystalline moduli of aluminium are calculated and compared with available experimental measurements at high temperatures. © 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd
