Abstract
We consider the effective modules of Voigt, Reiss for isotropic elastic composites. We have reformed the method for constructing iterative transformation of the upper and lower estimates of fork (Voigt-Reuss) towards two-component composite in case of an arbitrary number of components. The method is based on the fact that effective modules of Voigt and Reuss can be regarded as elementary symmetric functions introduced by Gauss. The conditions, which the iteratively – transformed efficient modules must fulfill at every iteration, are shown.
