value at the arithmetic average of the Hashin-Shtrikman’s bounds, as described<br />

in Section 15. Table 1 shows these bounds and compares this calculated value<br />

with the experimental value. Notice that for elements which are not in Group<br />

IV-A, the error is under 20%, while for Group IV-A, the error varies from 40%<br />

to 74%.<br />

Sisodia [15] mentions that if the anisotropic index à > 1, then G∗ 2 > G ∗ 1<br />

and vice versa. Notice also from Table 1, for those (most) elements where the<br />

anisotropy index exceeds unity, it is the case that G ∗ 2 > G ∗ 1. For Molybdenum<br />

and Tungsten which are practically isotropic, the bounds coincide. Finally,<br />

Niobium is the only element with à < 1, and there G∗ 2 < G ∗ 1.<br />

Gschneider’s experimental values are given in units of × 10 6 . This is<br />

converted to GPa by multiplying by gravitational acceleration as 9.80665 m s<br />
