Abstract
It is well known that isotropic, nonlinearly elastic materials satisfy the Baker–Ericksen inequalities as a consequence of the strong ellipticity or rank 1 convexity. Here we present a generalization to a non-isotropic elastic material which posseses a preferred element in the symmetry group.
