Constitutive relations for incompressible (slightly compressible) anisotropic materials cannot (could hardly) be obtained through the inversion of the generalized Hooke's law since the corresponding compliance tensor becomes singular (ill-conditioned) in this case. This is due to the fact that the incompressibility (slight compressibility) condition imposes some additional constraints on the elastic constants. The problem requires a special procedure discussed in the present paper. The idea of this procedure is based on the spectral decomposition of the compliance tensor but leads to a closed formula for the elasticity tensor without explicit using the eigenvalue problem solution. The condition of nonnegative (positive) definiteness of the material tensors restricts the elastic constants to belong to an admissible value domain. For orthotropic and transversely isotropic incompressible as well as isotropically compressible materials the corresponding domains are illustrated graphically.
