In this paper, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong ellipticity condition of anisotropic elastic materials. We first observe that the strong ellipticity condition holds if and only if a second order tensor function is positive definite for any unit vectors. Then we further link this condition to the rank-one positive definiteness of three second-order tensors, three fourth-order tensors and a sixth-order tensor. In particular, we consider conditions of strong ellipticity of the rhombic classes, for which we need to check the copositivity of three second-order tensors and the positive definiteness of a sixth-order tensor. A direct method is presented to verify our conditions.
