Summary

Silicate minerals show several correlations between structure type and elastic constants. Stiffness coefficients are generally larger in the direction of Si-O bonding. A simple mechanical analogy in which atomic bonds are simulated by springs connected in series and parallel is used to estimate the size and anisotropy of the elastic moduli and their pressure derivatives.
