An important necessary condition for an exact relation for effective moduli of polycrystals to hold is stability of that relation
under lamination. This requirement is so restrictive that it is possible (if not always feasible) to find all such relations
explicitly. In order to do this one needs to combine the results developed in Part I of this paper and the representation
theory of the rotation groups
SO(2) and
SO(3). More precisely, one needs to know all rotationally invariant subspaces of the space of material moduli. This paper presents
an algorithm for finding all such subspaces. We illustrate the workings of the algorithm on the examples of 3‐dimensional
elasticity, where we get all the exact relations, and the examples of 2‐dimensional and 3‐dimensional piezoelectricity, where
we get some (possibly all) of them.
