where and A 2 are the principal stretches. A material with this form of W is called harmonic. The harmonic form of W has been used by a number of investigators [1-4] to obtain explicit analytical solutions of the equations of equilibrium. In the present paper we discuss the stability of equilibrium for harmonic materials. The problems considered are strictly two-dimensional, and we consider stability versus plane alternatives only. Half of the problem of stability is solved by a theorem of Graves [5] which implies that a deformation is locally stable only if the strain energy is rank-one convex at each strain involved in the deformation. We prove a restricted form of the converse. For harmonic materials, and for displacement boundary value problems with no body force, an equilibrium state is stable if W is rank-one convex at each strain involved. Moreover, every locally stable state is globally stable (Section 7). The basic stability theorem can also be stated in terms of Wq, the quasiconvexification of W. For the problems considered, an equilibrium state is stable if and only if W = Wq at each point in the deformed body. We determine Wq explicitly in Sections 5 and 6. With I = Xi + A2 and J = A1A2, it has the form
